I love how Salamandra's tells women that their purchases will be placed in their car!
When I was 17 or 18 there was a rumor that you could make a purchase at Salamandara's so I tried not to shave for a few days and strolled in and in a manly man voice asked for some Bacardi. Fellow didn't miss a beat and told me where I could get a soda. With my "baby face" I never had a drink till I was sitting at a bar on Guam.

HI MACK.....THAT BODNAR AD SURE BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. MY SISTER LAW WAS MARRIED TO JOE AND FRANK WHO WAS THE LAST OF THE BOYS THAT RAN THE STATION PASSED AWAY RECENTLY. IT SEEMS LIKE MANY OF THE OLD TIME CHAMBERSBURG PEOPLE ARE GONE. WE WON'T FORGET THEM AS LONG AS THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND TOM GLOVER AROUND. REGARDS.
Hi Angela, Skip & Ralph:)
Angela,
For single young women they would
even drive it home and put it in the liquor cabinet and pour it for them as they drank it.
No No No this isnt true but I had to add it:)
Skip there was a place everybody
bought booze underage..we used
to say a baby coming thru the door
in a stroller would get served there..cannot mention its name..
my Burg Olmerta:)))
Amen Ralph:)
Burg folks of yesterdays glory
forever remembered here thanks to
good folks like you:)
Why rum? I know that was odd and then the memory came back. I did not have a clue on what to try to order but Holden Caufield from Catcher In The Rye, drank run and coke in the novel that was on the "reading list for Trenton High". I figured out that it would roll off my tongue all natural and smooth.
Buddy Carl and I tried to get served a beer and we started on Broad Street by Robeling (now the county offices) and what is now I think ... er .... a bar for women who like other women? We worked our way toward the White Horse Circle .. "Two whatever-ya'-got on tap and a pack of Lucky Strikes". I think we ended up with a Coke and fries at McDonalds. It was so frustrating, I tried to get served in a dark club in Greenwich Village too ... and the girl brought me a soda! Arrrrrrgh.
Hard Luck but sober .. Skipper
