Soft Drinks, Ballparks, Potato Chips: Tell Us Your Midwest Touchstones

We love those Facebook pages where people share their memories of growing up in their home towns. On Tuesday, Mitt Romney, who was born in Detroit, but hasn’t lived in Michigan since high school, joined in.

“I grew up drinking Vernors and watching ballgames at Michigan & Trumbull,” he writes in the Detroit News.

(In case you only know Comerica Park, Michigan and Trumbull was the address of Tiger Stadium.)

He also might have thrown in Faygo Red Pop and Better Made potato chips, and maybe Sanders hot fudge sauce.

That’s a short list of Detroit touchstones. We want to hear more.

Chicago people: do you still call it Comiskey? Clevelanders: does anyone remember League Park? How about our friends in Milwaukee: what was in your fridge growing up?

Share your Midwest touchstones. We want to hear what you’d mention if you were writing about growing up in your home town.
