Are you talking about the old McDonald Dairy round milk bottles that used paper caps? The ones where the cream separated at the top? The ones delivered to your house, & in the winter you had to get them inside before they froze? McDonald's used trucks to deliver, but Sealtest had horse drawn wagons; I remember stealing chunks of ice form them when the guy was at a house. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Fri Nov 23, 2007 8:36 am  twotap F L I N T O I D Any of you folks get to dig bottles along the river when they were making riverbank park. That was a fun time and some great stuff was uncovered. Too bad they cemented over all that cool stuff. We got some nice jugs, bottles a couple of 1911 porceline license plates. I do know of some cobalt blue bitters bottles that were found. We usually went in groups so we could watch each others backs of course a potatoe fork and shovel in your hand sort of discourages any mischief. by the way most of the dirt they hauled out of their wound up along I69 near hammerburg road, gotta be a bunch of coins and other stuff mixed in that big pile. Fri Nov 23, 2007 9:17 am  Ryan Eashoo F L I N T O I D Yes those types of bottles.... If you know of any please let me know. quote: Dave Starr schreef: Ryan, if you do it, I'll go along & take pictures.

My goal is to showcase my collection so others can enjoy it as well. quote: twotap schreef: Any of you folks get to dig bottles along the river when they were making riverbank park.

If Larry ha been your Sealtest milkman, you wouldn't have had to sneak ice. He'd have given it to you! Or maybe he just liked little girls better. Geez, we loved him.

Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:20 am  last time here Guest any of you youngins' remember coal deliveries and that monstrous coal fired furnace in the basement??? (wheres my geritol).. _________________ Guest post Mon Nov 26, 2007 12:27 pm  Deena F L I N T O I D I live in a home built in the 20's. I no longer have a coal furnace but I still have a coal room. It's an awesome spot to store holiday decorations! Mon Nov 26, 2007 12:31 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Our house was built in 1917. The outline of the old "octopus" coal furnace is still visible on the floor. The metal coal bin door is still on the house. The coal bin is full of shelves for assorted stuff, but my wife's Christmas village stuff is slowly taking over. I used to think the coal man had the coolest job in the world. Hook up the chute, dump the coal in the basement, AND you got to get really dirty. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

Mon Nov 26, 2007 1:43 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D I forgot - the electric trolley buses! The overhead trolley lines would ice up in the winter & give off bunches of sparks when a bus went by. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

I fondly remember sledding at Kearsley Park and skating at the armory. It could be 0 degrees and the armory would be packed. There was a big bonfire to warm our hands and feet and the ice was divided into three sections. One for the little kids and casual skaters, one for never-ending hockey games, and the third for crack the whip. Geez it was fun! And in another vein, I remember how our ankles wobbled! We thought it was our skating skills. I was an adult with young hockey players before I learned that it was really because our skates had no support. Hahahaha.
