oooo yes the ink smelled so good..my mom had a hand mimeograph at home to use for stuff with campfire so I got it there too...maybe that explains a few things about my brain...LOL

oh yeah, i remember them! the teacher used to need copies for us, so she'd go somewhere...to the mimeograph room and crank out 25 copies for the class, and we'd all sniff the ink! hahaha!

I don't know if I'm spelling this correctly--mimeograph copies!  I use to love to be picked to carry them from the office to the classroom!  Mmmm, that smell!!! 

This is always a fun group :-)

If you weren't in Atlanta in the early 80's, this will mean nothing.  However, I just had to share.  There was a club here for a few years called The Limelight.  It was a big, big deal--compared to Studio 54 often.  It was in an odd location near a Kroger, and the Kroger became known as "Disco Kroger."  The club closed in '83 or '84 (I never went there).  At work someone younger than I mentioned the Disco Kroger (as it is still known).  She said it used to BE a disco, and I was corrected her.  She stopped me mid sentence as I told her about the lines around the building, dance floor with sharks underneath it, etc.  She said, "You mean you KNOW the TRUE story of the Disco Kroger?"  I swear I might as well have been telling her about my travels to Narnia she was so shocked.  Good thing I am proud of my years and gray hairs!
