I used to frequent The Wayside from about 1958 to 1960. It was owned and run by Stan and Marjorie Forber - he was like everybody's dad, she stood no nonsense from even the toughest lads. My friend and I could make one coffee each last about 2 hours while listening to the jukebox that other people were putting money in. Happy, really rather innocent days.
