If so, where is this neat old (now) shopping center? FUN! I was snapped taking a similar pony ride when I was about 2 or 3 (1971-72), so we know that it's definitely something that was part of a different timem, huh? :-)<BR/><BR/>-DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027406896468337998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15011467.post-1152238855311188722006-07-06T19:20:00.000-07:002006-07-06T19:20:00.000-07:00They sure had great signage back in those daysThey sure had great signage back in those daystikiranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00055470026155044586noreply@blogger.com
