Meshna

Hello there! I remember Meshna's quite well. Right across from Flax Pond, near the old Coke Plant. I grew up in Lynn near Union Hospital, and went to the old Lynn Trade school in 1969 - 1972 for electronics. I actually walked the 3 miles from my house to Meshna's at least once per week in those years. Tons of big transformers, vacuum tubes, power supplies, O-scopes, and a lot of World War 2 Army stuff thrown in for good measure. I remember the big plastic bags of capacitors, resistors or even radio crystals for 1 dollar. Jeesh, now that I think of it, those are damn good memories!! When I walked up those wooden stairs onto the back long porch and went inside, I remember the place had a particular odor of old wood which I really liked for some reason. Just one of those things I guess! Sorry to hear that time has won the race again, but that will never stop, and some things I will never forget! Rick Caprarella
