More on Clifton

I've been thinking more about Clifton, the house in Clifton was if I remember correctly, white wood with a nice sized step up porch, that vaguely seems to have been gray...I should check with momma. Anyway, I think it had a picket white fence around it as well. Next door, and I mean right next door were the train tracks; and next to that a small, crowed, somewhat dark, neighborhood store.

There was a barrel of ice filled with soft drinks in glass bottles and my mom used to send me there to get a Dr. Pepper for her. The bottles were sooo cold, you'd pull them out with water dripping off and it seemed they were nothing short of a vacation by a cool mountain stream on a hot summer day. The bottles were the old ones, with the clocks on them. That is the main thing I remember about the store.
