How Many Do You Remember?

I remember everything mentions in this thread plus, diaper service, Charlies potato chip delivery, live chickens in the very first Bi-Lo stores meat market, wood chips and saw dust on the floor back there.

We didn’t have any hills so a pocket was made on the back and we pushed each other around with cut off hockey sticks

Yep we took turns pushing one another on a dirt road. We didn't have the fancy wheels either. Grandpa would bring home worn-out cast-iron pick gears from the textile mill. I forget how big the center bore was, 3/4, 1"? A cluster of 16 penny nails would hold them on for a while.
I saw a kid make a huge mistake with the wrist rocket. He hung it over the handlebar of his sting ray bicycle. Maybe 30 yards up the street, the thing got into the front wheel and locked it up. He did a header. Knocked him out cold. I don't know if he was out more than a couple minutes but it sure seemed like a long time as stood there with him while cousin Jack went on his bike for the boy's mom. She borrowed a car from another neighbor to get him home.
