better yet, getting yelled at for turning the TV dial too fast! younger kids may not know what we are talking about.

i remember when my dad bought a "console" TV. remember rotarty phones? they lasted the longest too! hard to find these days, but rare are candy cigarettes. loved them the best! bus rides cost .20 cents. pay phones took dimes. old coke machines that used bottles and you could pry off the top and get a free drink!! 45 records and 8 tracks. full size vans with wierd windows and psychadelic paint jobs. corner stores was very common. most are if not all are gone now.

wow, what memories

I was in second grade when "frozen cokes" first came out. Who would have known that 7-11 was going to make billions on their version (Slurpie). These were the days when station wagons all had fold down seats for the kids by the tailgate, and you got a car at every gas station when your parents spent $8 and filled the 20 gallon tank. Back seats could fit 3 adults, comfortably, and the trunks could fit a Mexican family of 8. The Brook Theater, an old vaudeville theater in N.J., charged 99 cents to see the new movies. The seat on my first two Schwinn bikes was two-tone. I've still got hundreds of LP's, and dozens of 45's. How funny.

This is a dangerous thread. I find myself remembering things I haven't thought about in over 30 years.

Take care,
~Chris

I hear ya. Notice my memories are all from the first 14 years of my life. lol.

I was told that I had an awful lot of fun in the 1980's, but unfortunately, I don't remember very much of that decade at all.



Take care,
