Circle K is still around. It just depends on where you are. We have them here in Louisiana. What I haven't seen in a while is a 7-11.

In the Jackson area--as well as the rest of Mississippi--Jitney-Jungle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitney-Jungle) stores.

Jitney-Jungle was a Jackson-based grocery store chain.

In 1999, Jitney declared bankruptcy. The following year, Jitney-Jungle was acquired by Winn-Dixie. In 2003 and 2004, Winn-Dixie closed a few Jackson-area stores. Finally in 2005, Winn-Dixie itself declared bankruptcy...and had sold or closed its 14 remaining Jackson-area stores.

You are right Shakey! Too bad kids now are missing out on so many great things we grew up with.

"LAWN DARTS"

On December 19, 1988, all lawn darts were banned from sale in the United States by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Lawn darts, used in an outdoor game, have been responsible for the deaths of four children, the latest being in early 1997 near Elkhart, Indiana. It should be noted that the specific incident that caused lawn darts to be made illegal also involved beer.

Lawn darts remain legal for use in the United Kingdom as well as other countries.
