A blog not only for '71er's but for anyone who grew up in Naples in the 60's & 70's. Including anyone who took a spin around the Pier, former Publix bag boys, Halloween egg throwers, East Naples GREASERS (that means anyone who lived east of Boat Haven) AND anyone who ever wondered what was in the "PORN ROOM" at Book Nook on 5th Ave and if the feet you saw under the door were your neighbors, or if people really cried in the Crying Room at the Naples Theatre......

Kwik Chek, Such Bargins, my parents would give me a dollar and change and send me to kwik chek for pot pies. 5 for a dollar! Fed the whole family that night and we were livin' large! I also must make a confession regarding kwik chek. I lifed a 5 cent candy bar, thought I was being so covert about it! They had called my Dad and I was busted before I got back home to enjoy my "Baby Ruth." (Small towns, every one not only knows your name, they also know your parents names!) Anyway, Ken marched me right back to the store where I had to hand over the stolen goods and apologize to the manager! OH WOE! That was the start of my life of crime and punishment!
I was caught lifting a watermelon from the same Winn Dixie. Friend and I walked in asked for two boxes because or cat was having kittens. We picked up one melon put it the box, flipped the other box over and inserted it the first box. I think the store employees got suspicious when it took two us to carry out the empty boxes. Being kids, we just walked around to the north side of the building sat down and cracked open the melon. Not to long later the manager came out and said he already called our parents and they were coming to pick us up. Needless to say, I never tempted to steal anything else....anywhere!
