I remember it all.
I think the thing I miss most are the good cartoons and being called home from the front porch.I can't remember the last time I heard a parent do that.

Can I play in this thread? I'm old too!! Sometimes I like to watch the classics like Indiana Jones or Ghostbusters just to take me back to the beginning of time... You know the movies that came out right after the stone age :D ...

Ha Ha,the movies I remember as old ones were The Spirit of St Louis(still one of my favs)John Wayne westerns,50s and 60s WWll movies,still love them too.
Hated the cop show reruns from the 60s when I was a kid except for drag net.

Hey Doc., Hit alot of nails right on the head!

I remember when fun was dad digging a hole in the backyard and giving my brother and I a spoon.

[quote="JD Spydo"]Actually "ront" we had a Root Beer stand ourselves that was really collosal. We had a Root Beer Stand in our town called "Dog N Suds". That was our official hang out for years. The food was really excellent too.

People claim I'm nuts when I make the assertion that even the old, original McDonalds hamburgers was actually really good at one time. The old GOLDEN ARCH Stands they had (before they turned it into a place where you could eat inside) truly had some delicious hamburgers.

Granted all of that took place when the Pterodactyls where still flying in our skies :D But a time I long for none the less ]

I thought I was the only person left in the world who remembered the Dog'N'Suds. :D
As for Saturday morning, who all remembers "Sky King" and "Astro Boy" or for that matter, the great American hero "Roger Ramjet"?

Of course, I also remember fallout shelters, atomic bomb drills, the Cuban Missle Crisis, and where I was the day JFK was shot, so it wasn't ALL a bed of roses. But it was way different than today.

The best toy my Dad ever brought home was a refrigerator box. That kept my sisters and me entertained for months

Hey YAB "Dog N Suds" had the very best Chilli Dogs on the planet. Their Hickory Burgers were par Excellente as well. Their Root Beer was connoisseur grade for sure >> We had A&W stands and a couple of MUGS UP stands here in Jackson County but "Dog N Suds" was truly the Creme de Le Creme

I must be old, I remember when there wasn't MTV, as well as when they started up and actually played music. I also remember when the RIAA was up in arms, blaming the slump in record sales on the newfangle technology of cassette tape recorders. Some things don't change. :D
