MONROE - Remember when a new Mustang cost less than $3,500 and a Hershey bar was a quarter? And Friday night meant shopping on the Square and a trip to the soda fountain?
The Monroe Times is gathering your memories of days past - particularly the 1940s through the 1980s - for inclusion in an upcoming special section. We want to hear all the nostalgic tidbits from Monroe and the surrounding area from these bygone eras: Memories and anecdotes from school, community events, churches, life in town and on the farm, or anything else that illustrates our collective heritage.
Tell us about the local businesses and gathering spots, community leaders and next-door neighbors who are gone, but not forgotten.
Short submissions are preferred; submissions may be edited for length. Submissions can be sent to Mary Jane Grenzow, editor, The Monroe Times, via email at editor@themonroetimes.com. Please include 'Remember When' in the subject line. The postal address is 1065 4th Ave. West, Monroe, WI 53566.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, May 27.
The section will be published in June.
