I grabbed some of my kids and we went for a drive ,down in what we call the county >It's a belt of land that runs about 20 miles north and parallal to lake ontario , good farm land . The last time i was in that area we were in the Desoto ,a 57 (but cant be sure if it was a 55 long time ago) but i remember torque flite and firedome ,the automatic transmission and the hemi (cant remember the size now either)> The county roads run straight and are good driving but evey one now just slipps on the bigger faster hiway> i was telling the kids about how prosperous this area was half a century ago and was going to show them some sites > Plenty of nice older farms and barns and the small towns had some great old buildings to look at > my kids couldn't believe back then this was a four hour drive ,today you can super hyway it in a hour and fifteen minutes> Well the drive was great, but the prosperity of the land and buildings had all slipped away ,all the apple ochards that were so popular there, grown over and unmaintained looked scarry the massive barns and farm houses that once dotted the country side were falling down not so pleasant to look at > may be thats why the super hiways you can drive past this neglect in a hurry and not notice what we have done in the name of modern living > i wish it was fifty years ago in the Desoto today ~ j
