The Cruising the strip, Weekend munching out made Shelby ‘‘the’’ place SCENE to be. Cruising down 74, meeting our friends, munching out on a Big Mac, parking at Burger King until the cops ran us off, this was the weekend scene at Shelby. Some may say, “‘Big thrill, it’s a waste of gas.” But to others at Burns High, a lap around McDonalds was worth it. Shelby was “‘THE” hangout, but some preferred to show their stuff at Roller- ama and Kates skating rinks. If they didn’t especially like skating, Pinball machines held just as great an attrac- tion. The dating scene was usually at one of the three theaters in Shelby, The Flick, Rogers and the Cinema. There was nothing like holding hands with your steady. Also, if he was not so macho, it was dark so you couldn’t see him. Shelby might not have been the greatest place in the world, but it was the ‘‘only’”’ place. We could have cruised in Fallston, if the girls would have settled for D.J.’s instead of God- fathers, and the Community Kitchen was McDonalds. And most importantly if a cop wouldn’t have been sitting at Stameys all night. 64 Night Life
