    Senterice 1: There was. also a candy store  about three: or four’ blocks in the other  direction called Pud's that we-used to walk up  to and across the street from Pud's was the.  local fire department and the uh the firemen  used to let us play on the fire engines which is  completely unheard of nowadays but they let  us you know climb all over them, get inside  and honk the horns you know put on fire  jacket and boots or whatever.we wanted to do  and uh I guess there just weren't a lot of fires  in Asheville in that part of town because they  never seemed to be concerned that we would  be interfering with their preparedness.
