The Good Old Days: 15 cent hamburgers 2015-06-26 - Old Columbia Road, Campbellsville, Taylor County, KY - Photo by CM staff. When some of us were kids there was hardly anything else conjured up when "15 cents" was mentioned than a hamburger - whether is was at the Little Store at Columbia Graded & High School, at Bob's Better Burgers, Marshall's Poolroom, Marshally Roy's Poolroom, or a a McDonald's . The "Broiling Makes the Difference" sign, above on Old Columbia Road is also a reminder of all the eating options the 50's -70's offered on old KY 55. Stores were over every hill, around every corner in those magical times, the Good Old Days. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
