Some people still believe that. It’s creepy as heck to run into them, too, because they can’t help but make senseless comments like, “You know writing your signature would be a lot easier with your right hand.” Umm, no it wouldn’t.

Malls, skating rinks and bowling alleys were all great hang out spots!

Oh my god, I miss actually socializing in person. I hope it’s not an old person thing but being there in person relating with people was heaven on earth.

My first car was a 69 Chrysler New Yorker that was already 8 years old and had 110k miles on it!

“Hanging out at the lake, or local public pool, parties at the Gravel Pit, groups of us going to a movie, then out for a snack afterwards, annual local Carnivals, picnics just for the heck of it, weekends at the beach, etc. Those were good times, indeed.”

Oh Lordy you remember… it’s was real it. GOERGE ORWELL and Einstein where right. “They call me PANDA”

My dad used a pool queue, but I think he learned that trick from some tv show. Each channel had it’s own button.

I remember when R&B was popular and streamlined.

I’ll call collect from the pay phone and say “pick me up.” Don’t accept the charges.

Free range children. In the summers, leave in the morning and show back up at five for dinner, then out until ten.
