SEEMS I REMEMBER THE PAST BETTER THAN YESTERDAY
Winding my wristwatch
in the morning and winding my alarm clock at night.
Telephones
with an operator and pay phones.
Muscle cars, but they were hard to start on cold mornings.
1964 Pontiac 409 409 cubic inch engine And then there was the Oldsmobile 442 and that is cubic inches |
Black and
white movies: a dime to get in, a dime for popcorn, and a nickel coke.
The birth of
Rock and Roll music.
Radios with
vacuum tubes.
Household fans.
Water-coolers for cars before air conditioning.
Bopping at the high school hop
Ice boxes and ice delivery – a penny a pound, and ice picks to chip the ice
Nickle soft
drinks in cold water boxes
Black and
white TV with rabbit ears
The Steve Allen Show and The Killer
Changing tires:
a necessary skill
Flat tires were a normal occurance. |
10c comic
books.
Soda fountains.
Writing in cursive
Straight
Arrow, was my favorite radio show.
And the list
could easily go on…
KANEEWAH FURY
the Ol’Buzzard
Yes, it does... and for the most part, all good memories. My cousins had stacks of comic books - and they would hide them under the bed when I came over... cause I wanted to read and not play.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a whole other world then, because it was!
ReplyDeleteSure brings back memories, even for a Canadian kid born in the late 40s
