Sun Dec 23, 2007 12:58 pm  last time here Guest OH NO!!!!! i remember that guy coming to the michigan theater with his yo-yo tricks...damn, i had forgot about him!!!!! that was a big deal too!!!!! he was THE MAN!!!! _________________ Guest post Sun Dec 23, 2007 1:08 pm  Deena F L I N T O I D There's an old school very like those around here in Imlay City converted to condos---and an old hospital that is the spitting image of St. Joe's in Minneapolis also condos. There's so much that could be done---with a progressive mentality. Sun Dec 23, 2007 1:12 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Anyone remember Johnnie's, across from the old Northern on McClellan, or Jerry's Emerson Inn on Pasadena? Jerry's was where the ice cream push carts on the north end came from. You got 2 cents for every ice cream bar sold. Or when Flint Journal routes were so coveted they were sold by the carrier for as much as $100.00? I subbed on the route from Alexander to Iroquois on Dartmouth when the regular carrier was on vacation & got $35.00 a week. Big money in the 50's. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos.

I subbed on the route from Alexander to Iroquois on Dartmouth when the regular carrier was on vacation & got $35.00 a week. Big money in the 50's. My son had a great route. He peddled papers to the rooms and machines at St. Joe's hospital. He made good money and never had to collect. Kids hated collecting. The worst was when my younger son and daughter split a route when they were quite young---maybe 11 and 12. My son was a good paperboy, my daughter was a lazy papergirl. SHE, however, got great tips---she was cute as all get out with long blonde braids and a winning grin. Finally had to make the rule that they not only split their profits, they ALSO had to split their tips.
