One of the things that stick out to me is the fact that back then as a kid I could take off on a summer morning and spend all day doing who knows what and no one would think anything of it. No phone, no texting, no contact at all. I just had to be home by dinner if I wanted to eat or be home by dark if I didn't want to get in trouble.
Nowadays, if we can't be in constant contact we have to be worried about what may have happened.
That is so true, kids these days would die if they didnt have cell phones and video games or computers.
As kids we were MADE to go out and play and your imagination was the best thing.
Toys were stronger and lasted for decades
I like the cars of the 30s-50s and some into the 60s. Music was better in the 20s-50s. Style was better/more simple. The change over from everything going from black and white to color would have really been weird though.
I still wish I had my Tonka dump truck back. I was the oldest so I didn't get to keep any of my toys. They all got handed down. I had more fun with that metal truck than you can imagine. Rust, sharp edges and all...
I don't think the music was that great from the 20's to the 50's. I like 50's rock and roll, but it's mostly late 50's. Big band doesn't do anything for me. It was better than todays crap though. But give me 58'-78' in music.
Grew up in the 70's, times where good, gas was cheap, muscle cars where cheaper, beer was better and the women where hotter!
Farah, Jackyln, and Kate, along with Little Kings, Fosters, and Real Coors, not that new watered down crap they pass off as Coors.Ruth Buzzi and Billy Beer?
