Adolescent Guilt


Everyone has a favorite soft beverage,  My soda of choice is a Jersey gem.  Stewart's Root Beer is a definitely part of local lore.  Orange drive-ins used dot the landscape of the Garden State.  I love to enjoy an icy cold mug of frosty root beer. Always have.

I grew up about a mile from a Stewart's Root Beer. It was our favorite hang out in Junior High.  We called it Stew's.  It was 1967.  We were 13 and cool. Enjoying a cold brew after a game of hoops was always a well-earned Guilty Pleasure.  Even back then my thirst for life was more than most.  We'd ride our String Ray bikes to the orange oasis on Rte. 1 and slam down a few cold ones.Throw in a Cheeseburger on a Kaiser Roll with a side of skinny fries and it's Adolescent Guilt.
