A nostalgic, sometimes tongue-in-cheek trip down memory lane. How many of these places do you remember? How many have been forgotten? Some fading away...just like some of us...! Enjoy this stroll and thanks for visiting!

If there was a time machine I would be the 1st in line to go back to 1963, the year I first met my future wife in the 9th grade typing class. Our Anniversary is tomorrow. Its been a wonderful 53 years. If I could go back I would not change one moment. Shirley is still the one and only love of my life. I am a very blessed man.

I too shed a tear for the loss of this world. This is the world I was born into, Southern California in 1958- it was a little piece of heaven! Our home was surrounded by orange groves where now there are only houses, streets, big box stores and freeways. The world wasn‘t perfect but this little bubble was gentle, peaceful, genteel, sweetly naive and rich in the simple eternal joys of life.

Anyone remember when the supermarkets and department stores closed early the day before a major holiday? I remember my mom doing her last minute grocery shopping at the Safeway because they'd be closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mothers had to plan their shopping accordingly. Holidays were more solemn and family oriented, not some commercial shopping occasion like it is these days! Alas, time marches on but fond memories remain and are refreshed with videos like these.

Then it progressed to included the holidays as well. Now there are always stores open regardless of the occasion. But I do remember how peaceful and quiet it was when shops were closed and almost everyone was at home with their families.

I remember Downtown stores closed at noon on Wednesdays, none were open at night or Sunday, Cokes were only in bottles with the city on the bottom and when the 10 oz. bottles were introduced, and Coke machines had a lid on top and you slid the bottle thru the rack. Neighborhood stores had penny candy, those that were wrapped were "self serve" in a small paper bag. When I turned 16, gas was $.25 a gallon and kerosene was $.10 a gallon and the rubber hose "dinger" at gas stations.

We don't make it as well as people in decades past would have, though. I mean we do ok, but in 1965 under the same circumstances we could be buying a home (maybe even already bought one), put the kids through college, and even take a yearly vacation. Some of those things are just out of the question (like buying a home and yearly vacations). But we manage. I think we're one of the few remaining one income families. I take pride in that.

My mother and her parents always told us to lock our house at night and when everyone was away. We lived in a lower middle-class neighborhood in a small town (population 9,000), Although that neighborhood was extremely close to schools, once someone's father got a promotion, the family started "movin' on up", and movin' away from that place, so it turned into a kind of transitional neighborhood, with most folks not staying for more than a few years. Lots of my neighbors moved away in 1968, for some reason. Anyway, if you live in a neighborhood like that, you better lock your doors.

Nailed it perfectly! Born 1950. This is a spectacular time machine. Thanks for the memories of a much simpler time. Back then the American dollar was the strongest currency in the world. What inflation? 😂 Yes, and those 15cent Mcburgers were bigger and made from fresh beef also. A new Honda 50 scooter was $215! My '68 Roadrunner was $2900 out the door. Executives made about $20,000 a year. Big bucks then!

@joesloadeddiaper3007 2 года назад

It was a strong currency because it was based on the gold standard. In 1971 the federal reserve took it off the gold standard and inflation started.

@dr.jamesolack8504 Год назад

@Thomas Brutus Keep in mind that $1.00 in 1965 was equal to about $9.00 today. So, your $2900 ‘68 Roadrunner was about $27,000 today.

I was born in 1964 and yet I can still vividly remember things like the first song that I ever heard on the little transistor radio in the kitchen on the 2nd floor of the two family house in suburban Northern NJ where my maternal grandparents Sam and Francesca lived downstairs while my late mother Carole was cooking supper. It was Cherish by The Association and in my 2 year old ears and mind it was the most beautiful sound that I had ever heard up to that point paving the way for a lifelong love of music. I can also remember seeing the Vietnam War on the black and white television as well as the first time that a man landed on the moon🌝while we ate Swanson TV dinners and so many other amazing memories even though I would truly come of age throughout the 1970's once upon a time in an America that no longer exists and I will never forget about anybody or anything that made me who I am nowadays at age 58...🥃🇺🇸💖✌🏼

@dr.a.995 3 года назад

i fondly remember my "downtown" -a main street with a descending order of quality stores. Christmastime was the best, as all the lights illuminated an otherwise drab CBD. it has disappeared in a quick 50 years, replaced by the suburbia spread and "malls." America does not hold tight to its past, much less to its uninspired small-town architecture.

Thank you for taking time to share this. I thoroughly enjoyed & it brought back so many memories. I was raised in Churchville, MD which was and still is houses/farmland and not many businesses as shown and being my dad was a doctor we didn't do much traveling but it seems you did. When we did get to go out I remember Woolworths and Richardson's drug store lunch counters in Bel-Alir, MD and delicious Sealtest ice-cream, Buster Brown shoes and so much more. Again, thanks for sharing, the trip down memory lane has been nice and your sense of humor appreciated too Just wish they'd bring back those grocery prices - since the pandemic I believe all prices have skyrocketed. Oh what a life!

Bethesda, here, my dad was a doctor too, I went in those stores they showed in Wheaton. I was born in 60 and as the years went on I wondered if my older brother and I would have to go to Vietnam. A boy down the street did, but came home fine. Bethesda and western Maryland, specifically McHenry and Oakland and Deer Park were a great place to spend my childhood. I wouldn't want to live in Maryland now. Too congested and restricted.

Born in 1952 I remember everything good about those days and choose to forget the bad. Everything seemed clean and fresh in my neighborhood in the suburbs. We had a creek to cool off in and a woods to play army, a couple of tree houses and a wild berry patch. The milk man gave us rides and free chocolate milk, every now and then the ice-cream truck came around. Dad went to work and got a new car every couple of years while mom stayed home and we had a hot meal at 6:00. After dinner we played some more until dark with never a fear of anyone harming anyone. Such sweet memories.
