Puff Balls,Smelts and Corn on the Cob

The world changes and many things vanish forever, and sometimes we forget all about them, but occasionally something happens that remind us of what was once familiar to us. The other day that happened to me and so i thought i would jot everything down. So here goes another list of things i miss.

Red Barn Restaurants
Hanging with friends at the fort on old Holiday Inn Drive
The wicked curve that was at the cemetery on Cooper Street
The Fire siren and the 2Am phone calls for my dad when he was a volunteer Fireman in Hespeler
The chocolate bars that my Dad would leave for us after his bowling nights
French fry's with vinegar and salt at the old Arena
Sayvette,Tower of London and other stores in the old mall
Puff Balls,smelts and Corn on the cob dinners
Concord grape doughnuts from Tim hortons
Yellow Submarine shops
Tien Sun Inn and Mothers Pizza
My Moped
Fanta Pop
Max Saltsman-As honest a politician as there ever was
Buns Masters Bakery
Records on Wheels
The Hespeler Textile Festival
Big Jugs of Beer at Frank Vetere's
Hilltop Fish and Chips
The matador Tavern and Nicholsons Tavern

And probably the biggest thing i miss is not being able to get together with family and friends as much as i would like.

I attended the Hespeler Textile Festival one year; it must have been a class trip. It was held in the old arena. I remember someone demonstrated how to use a big loom with shuttles.
