    Nostalgic. Thanks.

    Peered down that pathway as a child and again as a college student years later. Also descended down into the caverns on both occasions.

    I put the screwdriver in the mound to give another indication of how big it was😊

    Another cool movie fact. When the movie Pearl Harbor was filmed Big Mo was used as a set for the USS Arizona. However, in order to film down along "Broadway" (the below waterline corridor that stretched from one end of the ship to the other and through which munitions were transported by a ceiling mounted rail) the producers ended up paying millions of dollars to have asbestos removed. As a result, today one can tour that corridor.

    Here is another of my photos. This one taken on a special tour of Big Mo at the location on "Broadway" where the scene in the movie Pearl Harbor was filmed. In the movie the corridor begins rocking as bombs hit USS Arizona.

    And here is a screenshot from the film "Pearl Harbor" at the subject location on Big Mo's Broadway. (Note the artifact of a hand held light on the far left of the frame. The corridor is so narrow it was difficult for the film crew to place lighting for the shot.)

    And some years later, this same location was again used as a set for another film featuring a battleship. This time it was in a Godzilla film.

    Lost our milkman early 70's. Milk was always better from a glass bottle.
    Not very fond of the waxed cardboard or plastic jug.

    Not to mention the pull off cardboard caps. Anyone collect those?

    Is this a similar species as the one from the previous page?

    Worked as an Assistant manager at the Burger chef in my hometown in Michigan prior to enlisting in the Navy.

    No photo to add, but seeing these 15 cent burger places reminded of a Dee's Burgers which was the original fast food burger chain in Utah before McDonalds. I recall when traveling through Salt Lake City seeing the similar 15 or 29 cent signs there in the 60s and still recall how great they tasted wrapped in a waxed paper.

    Somehow fast food burgers wrapped in paper always tasted better than those in cardboard or styrofoam boxes.
