I grew up in Lowell, MA. I used to get two dollars from my mom. That was enough to pay for my trolley fare to a store on the other side of town and back and the leftovers were enough to buy a screwball (an orange sherbert cone thing with a gumball at the bottom), a coke, and a small bag of penny candies like root beer barrels or Nonpareils or lemon heads. I'd sit on the back of the trolley just enjoying my haul, riding around the city. All the little old Quebecois ladies knew me.
