    My wife used to take lessons and do ceramic work at Mo-Lee's Ceramic Studio in the late 60's/early 70's. She turn this experience into a nice business when we later lived in New Jersey and California in the later 70's.

    My wife remembers in the 1950's as a young girl going to a large ice house and watermelon stand on Alameda next to Herman Park. She would go there with her father, they would sit outside and she would get a large slice of cold watermelon and her father an ice-cold beer....those were simpler times!

    The rink is the Polar Wave...it was just east of downtown. It's also interesting to see the Alley Theater in the film when it was really in an "alley", on Milam across from Holy Rosary Church.

    No question, people did dress up more going out in the '60's and before. Things started to get progressively more casual in the '70's. For example, men wore coats and ties while traveling on airplanes. JFK (who didn't wear hats) was also a big influence on business men no longer wearing hats as part of the "business uniform".
