I missed the pinups at Downing's, sad to say. Some of my favorite childhood memories were exploring the boat storage barns in Robert's Cove. There was (is?) some really cool old stuff stored there, especially in the attic of one of them. I'm sure we were not supposed to be up there though. I also fondly recall the ancient coke machine in the marina. The coin mechanism failed so one just had to put a quarter in the tin can screwed to the front of the machine to buy a 10 oz bottle of ice cold Coke. There was no security at all, but no one I know of ever stole a coke or a quarter.
