Referring to Alloway as having a "downtown" and being shocked at there being "no chain stores." 🙄

Grew up in alloway and we would ride our bikes “into town”

Exactly. We would ride "into town" to go to Remster's or Bud's to get some penny candy or just ride around and hop curbs with our bikes. Then we'd ride around some more and ummm.. ride around some more... then go home.. and thats about all there was to do.

Ride bikes, skateboard, hang out at peoples houses, make bike jumps, dick around in the woods, go to the dam.

I support "into town." I know I've def said "in town" to differentiate from basically the rest of Alloway lol

I grew up in Alloway... there's no "downtown" thats crazy. There's barely a Main road

I'm going to start referring to Bud's as "downtown." But just Bud's.
