At America’s current trajectory, in 50 years time they’ll be showing photos from the 2020s of gay pride parades, pussy hat marches, furry conventions, BLM peaceful protests, people that weigh only 300 pounds, and dozens of fentanyl addicts passed out in subway stations and they’ll call THAT the good ol’ days.
And garbage was only stacked 3″ high in the streets.
I wait at least 3 weeks for yard waste to get picked up they are so short staffed at the county.
and of people taking a shit on the sidewalk in san franshitsco.
The maple seeds are called helicopters.
We called them whirligigs.
Green ones could be pressed against the roof of your mouth to help make a loud screech sound.
You could also split open the seed pod and dump the seed. The sticky inside lining of the split pod would then stick perfectly on the bridge of an 8 year old boys nose. I recall we all felt like rhinos and laughed a lot with our maple keys stuck on our faces. I think it’s a little boy thing. haha
Sweet memories all over this piece.
many thanks.
Did that same thing with rose thorns.
We called them nosies, and had fun wearing them on our nose
The coolest looking cars most people saw on the streets in the 1970s were kit cars built on VW bug chassis.
The Sterling
Bradley GT, etc.
For all you lazy, worthless Millennials & Generation Zeros who are wondering what that elderly woman is holding, standing behind the white 1964 Chevrolet Impala, it’s a Polaroid Camera. You tripped the Shutter and out spit the picture you just took. You did not take the Film to the drugstore to get developed. You put this liquid on the picture to preserve the image. The round, silver colored object on top of the Camera is a Flash Attachment. When you wanted to take a picture in low light conditions you would put the Attachment on the Camera and put a Flash Bulb in the center of the Attachment. You then would trip the Shutter and the Flash Bulb would flash at the same time, providing light to expose the Film. The Flash Bulb only worked one time. For each additional picture you had to use a new Flash Bulb. Batteries inside the Camera provided the power for the Flash.
I sometimes find these Cameras at Thrift Stores and buy them for my Tax Lady who collects old Cameras.
No charge for this wisdom Millennials and Generation Zeros because that’s the kind of guy I am!!!
Very popular in the early 80s home made porn scene.
No need to have it ‘developed’ in a lab. Well before the days of digital pics.
Some of the cars in the article qualify as porn.
Just sayin’
“if you ever did this” (pillow fort)
had many vacant lots nearby, everyone dug huge underground bunkers.
Our empty lots had very tall grass (1-2 feet) that we used to hide in and crawl on our bellies through. The grass had very large seed heads that you could pull off between your thumb and forefinger and then throw at others. They would stick in clothing showing you had been hit. Good, simple times.
Did the underground bunker in a friend’s backyard.
This is what I remember the grass sort of looking like.
Sumac bushes also made good cover.
hay forts

Hunt’s needs to reissue that catsup ad now that infant formula is no more.
In college — when things were tight — we’d have ‘tomato soup’ by mixing catchup and hot water …
In the pic that has Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis on the top, who can name the one movie that all four of the people on the bottom of that pic were in?
Blues Brothers.
The first commercial TVs used WW2 radar scopes that were round; less fancy than the one shown. The drive-in movie photo must be 1949 0r earlier. That grass pictured is oats; north Florida fields often had grass over a kids head and honeysuckle caves made the best forts; dry Horse Fennel and bamboo made great arrow shafts and young tall wild cherry trees made great bows; but I bought my first rifle at a pawn shop when I was about 12 I think ( country kids were trustworthy then).
