At age 10 or so, catch the bus 2 blocks south of home, ride to down-town. Catch a movie at the Ritz or the Carolina (my dad had been a manager at each, pre WII), maybe the Palmetto (not allowed in the Strand or the Capitol), after the movie (saw 20,000,000 Miles to Earth, particularly memorable day), cruise all 4 of the major 5&10 stores for treasure. Go to drug store in first floor of the Wade Hampton hotel, have a lemonade, catch the bus back, from in front of the drug store. Total for bus and movie, around 40 cents.
