Thanks for sharing that. I've always regretted not being able to experience the 50's. I was born in 59 so I missed the whole decade. But, I appreciate how so much of that era spilled over and has been preserved through the 60's,70's, and even today. The cars. The music. The movies. The food. I have to say though, I miss the tv dinners in the aluminum trays that you had to heat up in the oven. What are some of the things you UHH's miss from that era who experienced it. I'd like to know.
Well, there was a time when you pulled in to the gas station and there was no "self serv", only one price(no extra for credit card), the attendant wiped your windows and asked if you'd like the oil checked. There was a time when a kid went off to college and everything he/she needed fit into a camp trunk (not a moving van!). A large house with space around it cost less than $50,000. And so on and on and on . . . . .
