All's jjaba remembers is the corner grocery store and the Chinese restaurant with booths and privacy beads plus Jerry's Bike Shop.

At the grocery, we bought bottled 12 oz. Pepsi and a bag of Planters Peanuts to shove down the top. Yum, what a great snack. jjaba still snacks like this today, when he can find 12 oz. bottles of sodas.

Oy veyesmere, to think that jjaba could ingest such a meal with his acid reflux today.
