Great topic,  it sure brings back times and places and more !    Oh yeah.  And nothing like my old steel mill joints with the pool tables and some with juke boxes and hours in there after work ...... when there were steel mills back then.   Oh my high friends in low places of their own.

Also the college bars and juke boxes and pinballs, different crowds but more college chicks.

And then the strip joints where if you're not careful your money would just fly away .... but still a fun chicks place.   Just 3 of a few more joints we closed up  -and-  the girls all get prettier at quitting time !   Especially at our neighborhood bar, a gold mine.  

Oh yeah .

Yep//Those were the gold star Banner years !  ⭐

My late father (Tom-Navy man) worked in the steel business also .. Williams Company Toledo,Ohio over 20 years. Hard work. Crushed a toe/ tore up a shoulder.. 

I can go back to where I was 8-9 years old. No school weekends, with Dad taking us to his Mom's/grandma's for the weekend.. Bo-Michigan/Woody-Ohio State football games .. and Street Hockey & Street Football games were born there 

Dad/neighbors knew all the local bars/tender's within walking distance..Found out, the Neighbor Mr.Young, would do the open window peek-in passing strip clubs 😊.. We all had a out-right blast drinking Root-beer's with Two lane Bowling alley's & Skee-ball to pinball machines.. Jukeboxes were loaded up with some great tunes back then

GReat Times !

Oh yes such incredible times we had for a few short decades until they closed up   virtually  ALL  of the steel mills in Youngstown,  Ohio  and a lot of the Rust Belt areas in northern USA.    The neighborhood bars, shops and later the cities themselves just virtually went away.

I was 17 when I started college in 1968, 18 when I started down US Steel until I lost my job in 1980 I was 29.

I got another good job at GATX in Masury, Ohio on the PA line.  The largest manufacturer of railroad tank cars in North America  they closed up in 1983/1984 I was 33 in October 1983 and my last big steel manufacturing job. BUT I was in my MBA program by then and caught on with NUCOR in their steel joist/deck/girder division in sales.  Largest manufacturer in North America again.  I was 34 in 1984 and good until I retired. 

But not the old time shot & a beer days,  good but not exciting ..... eh time to settle down anyway. 

...... " but take those records off the shelf  ...... I like that old time rock and roll  "......   Bob Segar,  baby !  

[mjp28]

[Verse 1]
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll (Oh)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Won't go to hear 'em play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playin' old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll (Oh)

[Saxophone Solo]  

[Chorus]
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll (Hey)
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

[Outro]
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll. ..  

.....  Oh yeah baby !    I like that old time rock and roll.     It's in my bones.
