I can remember my dad sending me to the gas station for a gallon of "white gas" with a quarter. Gas was $0.239. I don't know why I remember that.

I'm old and from the country. As a kid I remember the cats eyes reflectors. We didn't have road signs. It was 'turn right two roads past the school, unless you took the fork, then you double back through that road by the red barn". Of course that barn hasn't been painted in thirty years.
Actually when I moved to my home here in Virginia in 1980 I would tell people the route number and get a "Don't know them numbers." I finally found out I was two miles north of Crossroads store. But, Crossroads store burned in the 60's and it was a cornfield. LOL
