Nice trip down memory lane. I can relate to almost all of it.

Thanks jjackflash, many wonderful flash backs, had a 1957 chevy and though I had the world by the tail. Wow and the Girls of the 60's what a time period. Listening to the music and can remember some wonderful times. I wish it was like the 60's now if you didn't live in that period its hard to understand, been there and done that. GBY....

I remember it all, but my television days go back to 1948 or '49. Had one of the first ones in town. Dad had to get permission from the landlord to mount it on the roof. Then he used a piece of aluminum foil on the twin antenna lead to "fine tune" the signal. It worked. About 1954 was our first color TV, if you could call it that. It took a lot of tweakin' to get the color right every time you changed the channel, and there were only a couple.

They forgot Howdy Doody!! The Howdy Doody program was instrumental in selling color TV's.

And radio was "The Green Lantern," least we forget.
ad infintum.


Thanks for the memories!

Saturdays at the Magnet movie house (1954-1956) from about noon to 4 PM. Johnny Mack Brown, Roy, Gene, even some older types like Bob Steele and Tom Mix...with the Durango Kid and Whip Wilson thrown in. Smoking corn silk wrapped in newpapers and wondering why the milk man stayed at one home longer than others....cause he lived there you evil thinker!! Dennis

Having ice brought up to the apartment to put it in the refrigerator, when ice was the only way to cool. And, going out to the ice truck and getting a free piece of ice to suck on during a hot summer day.
