We’d eat lunch there every day they had the $0.10 hot dogs.

We always went to the old (weird and creepy) Provo Reams.

Good times.

Whoa, flashback. If you grew up in Utah County, do any of you remember Ream's Grocery on the 4th of July?

Ragnar Danneskjold You know...

They used to have one on Main Street in Lehi. I'd imagine there were others.

That Park near Independence high school too. Which was easily the shadiest park in Provo when I was growing

Used to know Paul Ream. His son was in my ward growing up.
