Remember when?

Remember when triceratops ran along the river running along C470? Oh, that was over 60 million years ago, did I just give away my age?

...did I just give away my age?

:rofl

I didn't know there was anything older than dirt! lol

Remember when the Highlander Restaurant was across from the old Safeway and the parking lot always smelled of raw sewage?

But anyone could listen in on your call. And it was a different coded ring if it was for you. Like 2 short rings and a long.

I know I am not that old but where I lived technology didn't hit our area very quickly.

Ok, this wasn't that long ago for me - 1994. I lived in a part of Gunnison that still had party lines.

And i remember just being able to dial the 4-**** (whatever number) and then we had to dial 674 - oh no, extra numbers!

I rememebr old aspen park, I remember when the Hiwan golf course DIDN'T exist, when hwy 74 had to go through the middle of bergen park, and there's wasn't much to bergen park either. And when the place on Kerr Gulch that says "Ice Cream" really did sell ice cream.

Honest to God, I never ate one but, remember the Jack Potato at Green Valley Grill?
Deep fried, baked potato, or was it baked, deep fried potato?

Baked, battered and fried. Best thing on the menu.

They were really good. Maybe a restaurant up here now could put it on the menu

Blazin' Bakery's yummy goodies,JD Realty on the first level of the Old Safeway center and Bugling Elk on the second level just above. And, as someone said before, Windy Point was a "OMG,what was I thinking,wonderful winter driving experience"......(IF it didn't deter
you and you opted to live up here ANYWAY.....you were SOLID Mountain mindset.) Remember when Bulldogger (at Crow Hill in Bailey)
was a THRU road and not blocked off at 285. When Hog Heaven was a stand alone little caboose outside,NO brick and mortar building)

lol I remember that. And we would tell our incredulous Ohio relatives that there were no traffic lights for 100 miles, from Morrison to Salida. But I am just talking the early 70's.

But my older neighbor, very old, remembers taking the train from the depot at Jefferson to California and the pavement used to end at Long Bros.
