Speaking of phone numbers, what was the phone number you called to check movie times? Lol. Movie Fone or something. And there was a number you could call to get the time and weather.

We showed up on time at the agreed upon locations or we missed spending time with those people.

Who charges $10 for a haircut anymore?

Last one I can remember is the barber on S Congress, and he sold his shop in 2008.

His closure also led to me shaving my head (ain’t paying more than $10, hell I should get a discount since I don’t have much to cut).

place on the drag (not Wootens) was $7 (circa 1992).  Lady let me keep that price for 3 years.  I want to say it was called Affinity or some shit.

Yeah that old guy on S Congress charged $10 for a long time. No register, just toss your cash in the cigar box (make change if you need to).

Was very disappointed when he closed shop.

Typo damnit it, meant 844, distracted finding the Times Herald jingle.  I believe it was actually 844 and then any 4 numbers (may be misremembering that) but young Surly just kept hitting 4s

844-any four numbers was time and temp
444-film was movie phone

Anyone ever call BUG-RUGS?

yeah I had learned it as 844-1234 and then when someone pulled back the curtain and revealed to me that you could press ANY COMBINATION OF NUMBERS after 844 and still get the same result it blew my mind!

I still remember the number for the domino's in my neighborhood in east dallas 35 years ago.  and various other places we called in for food when I was a kid.

What was the time and temp number? Can’t recall.

I had a Purchasing guy once order 60' of "1-inch chain" to use to block our industrial yard entry gate.  It worked great because none of us could move that shit.
