November 4, 201411 yr My tastes are a little odd, I guess. Probably the neatest thing I can think of, that I own, is a mummified squirrel that I have displayed in my living room. I found him inn an old wood burning stove while cleaning out my uncle's garage. He is in a glass case on a special shelf.

November 10, 201411 yr Lew Alcindor roookie basketball card. Autographed photo of Arnold Palmer Autographs of Byron Nelson and Gene Sarazen But, the best thing I have has to be handwritten letters from WWII between my uncle(who died in the war) and my grandparents. My grandfather was articulate and well written....my grandmother not so much as she would spell out words the way they sounded. Very fascinating.
May 13, 20206 yr Author I've been thinking on this thread topic lately after I was recently given a liquor prescription from 1929 during the prohibition, written out to a Covington, KY resident and filled at Krause's Drug Store in Covington. In 1924, Clifford Krause purchased his retiring employer's drug store at the corner of 10th & Madison and immediately expanded the store hours to have a pharmacist on staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That was completely unheard of in the 1920's (in the middle of the prohibition). Krause was known for having a no-questions-asked policy about filling prescriptions for medicinal liquor, and the store came to be known locally as "Krause's Bootleg Drug Store." Area pharmacists who refused to fill medicinal liquor prescriptions would oftentimes refer their customers to Krause's. When the building was sold after the drug store closed in 1999, the new owners found a liquor still behind a locked door in the basement.
