> I like moon pies and RC Cola. When I was growing we used to live in Charlotte, NC, and one of our favorite places to eat out was Po Folks. Do they have those in Tennessee? I always wanted to get a moon pie when we left. And I remember the Po Folks in Charlotte had RC Cola posters all over the restaurant.

I think Po Folks are still in Tennessee, but the one where I used to eat has closed. You can still get RC Cola and Moon Pies in Pigeon Forge.

I've been collecting coins since I was about 12. I guess some of them are valuable by now, but they are in a safe deposit box and I never see them. Still, out of habit, I check the date and mint mark on every coin I touch. I usually bring back coins and currency from other countries.
