CASHEWS-HOT MEMORIES @ KRESGE'S!

       Yesterday at the Burg Grocery, a one pound plus container of Planter's Cashews was reduced significantly due to an expiration date. They were sold out in minutes after the reduction and yours truly was at the right place at the right time. 

      It immediately triggered a fond memory back to a time when I was a young boy in the Kresge's store in Marshalltown, Iowa, on the northeast corner of Center and Main Street. The store at a time, back in the 1950's, had a location somewhat in the center of the store with a glass covered stand that had a variety of hot nuts for sale. My favorite were the cashews and for 25 cents you could purchase a small paper sack full of these hot and salty morsels. There was nothing better!
