It's easy to see what old-time Denverites are interested in - old-time Denver! Of course, the definition of old-time depends on when you were born.

Last month Schrage asked about Bob's Place, the gas station that stood for decades at South Colorado Boulevard and East Alameda Avenue (remember "A Bob-Cat for Service"?), and that drive down memory lane was bumper to bumper for readers.

Then last week, Liz weighed in about The Creamery, an ice cream and burger joint that once graced the retail strip at South Holly Street and East Florida Avenue, and the readers ate it up.

First came specific memories of The Creamery, from Steve (blowing his 25-cent allowance on candy), Pam (vanilla Cokes, ice cream confections "but mostly hanging with friends"), James (55 cents for a hamburger deluxe with fries) and Fred: "After school let out there was a mad rush to get to The Creamery and get the booths along the back wall, where some kids would not leave till the dinner crowd started to come in."

Shane remembered "candy bars, ice cream, Duncan yo-yos and, best of all, comic books."

"We would recycle glass bottles for 2 cents apiece until we had enough for a candy bar or pop," he said.

Then came broader neighborhood memories: Piggly Wiggly, muscle cars, hippies, 25-cents-an-hour baby sitters, "all those crazy boys that my parents never wanted to see me bring home!" Yep, those were the days.

Last night, while having rainbow sherbet ice cream, I told the kids that even though it's spelled "sherbet" it's pronounced "sherbert," with a second "r." My husband said no, it's pronounced as spelled. What's the deal? - Jill
