The Bump

Airborne

The “bump” on Warner road, where if you were going fast enough you could get your car airborne. A friend that we’ll just call ‘Mike’ took his dad’s car — an Olds 88, I think — and hit that spot doing somewhere above the speed limit: that car was so nose-heavy the front of it plowed in to the pavement.  I don’t know that his dad ever did find out what really happened.

Yank’s Bus

I also remember that “bump” from riding Dick Yank’s bus, as the longer he had been a bus driver, the faster he seemed to go on his route.  If you sat at the back of the bus, you were likely to come up off the seat completely!  Good thing he kept the eggs he sold to the kids’ families up front by him until your stop.

    I think it was Ann Morris (1980’s) that would take the boys for a ride everyday on Warner. The mission was to see who could hit the roof. Too funny, I forgot about that:)
