Did the voice on the payphone say: You must please deposit 25 cents to place your call LOL I think that’s engrained in my memory
Fun fact:
Once touch tone phones became the norm there were actually games you could play by just calling a number. There was also a number you could call and get the local time and temperature. Oh, and lets not forget Mr. MoviePhone!

Milton Hershey made chocolate, a town, and a school that inherited a controlling interest in the chocolate company.

Looked it up, that school seems very cool. It does sound like you’re describing Willy Wonka though.

You are going to think I made this up, but the street lights are shaped like Hershey kisses.
