And now I wonder just how much that 'extra serving of turkey if desired' would go for ?
"I'll take that for $15.00, Alex..."
I think I may have to self-correct myself when looking at the dates and the prestige -I believe,
Howard Johnson once held. $1.35 -using Sol's mathematics, equalling $45 dollars today isn't such a
huge leap considering cooking, wages for the staff, a decorated room and all the festive requirements
that Thanksgiving demands.
So the value of money back then and its worth today may be what I was not fully appreciating.
