JUST FOR FUN--AND KEEPING IT LOCAL--FOR BACK TO SCHOOL TOO

Summer is in full swing---and yet, what did we spot in a few local stores shortly after July 4th?

Why 'BACK TO SCHOOL' items of course...YES, IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IT LOCAL WHEN YOU CAN---CVS, SHOPRITE AND ROBBINS have you covered.....that got some of us thinking....

Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far way, BACK TO SCHOOL displays didn't happen till mid-August.  Of course, you needed at least two looseleaf binders, a pencil case, and a lunch box too---and while most of the latter are being made of (OH-NO!) that dreaded blow mold recycled plastic these days---and a far cry from the vinyl and pressed steel ones you may remember--some things will never change......

And that's the latest television or movie characters who often grace the "lids". Not that many of us know who some of these folks are......

And now just for fun, check out some vintage lunch boxes at your editor's Flickr photostream----there's Bonanza, Lost in Space, Barbie and Twiggy, The Munsters, The Jetsons and more! Go to
