My father paid for haircuts for neighbor boys.

The old barber shop we visited is still there. It used to be called
Rudy's. I recall there were 3 barbers on duty. The owner was from Germany and always gave kids hard candy. The shop is now called
Amigos.
My mom took me there once and when my haircut was done I went outside. She gave me a severe scolding for not saying ''
thank you'' to the barber.
