Also have about every kind of jelly to put on biscuits and toast. We are getting ready to get ready and go to the train show here in Louisville today.

He used to live across the river from Ironton, OH when the old DT&I was still running down the street (along with N&W). He thinks he's got a set of decals for the DT&I. When he worked at TESCO, designing crossing signals, etc., he worked with a couple of guys: one who came from DT&I, and the other one came from Ann Arbor. He has several pictures of the Ann Arbor from the early 70s, around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, MI. cherokee woman "O'Toole's law: Murphy was an optimist."

You're not the only one who depends on Michigan for his poison of choice. I love Mountain Dew, but have to curb the caffeine intake. You can't get caffeine-free Dew around here, so I import the cans from Michigan whenever I can (diet, of course!). I'll gladly pay the Michigan can deposit--it's worth it, even though (as I've been told on this forum before) it's just fizzy flavored water now.

That is Probably the BEST Ginger Ale ever made. Haven't been able to find that in our local area for quite a few years! Vernor's is now a Cadbury-Schweppes brand. http://www.dpsu.com/vernors.html It's still available in it's original market area (it was originally made in Detroit), and also seems to have migrated into the snowbelt (undoubtedly following its many fans who have moved south). I've gotten it in Phoenix before. Vernor's was the original soda, IIRC. All ginger ales were similar (that is to say dark) until prohibition, when most chose to go with the lighter drinks you now see so they would not be associated with bootlegging. Vernors stayed the course, and is now about the only dark ginger ale on the market. Many fans say that it's not as robust as it once was, but it's still great stuff. I find that drinking it from a can is not as satisfying as drinking it from a glass, since you can't enjoy the bouquet from the can. The classic Vernors container is, of course, the bottle. Highly carbonated, it'll make you sneeze if you get a nose full of fizz. But it's worth it.
