I’m so old that I remember going to bed with our doors unlocked.

As a kid in New Jersey, we didn't even own keys for our house! My folks always left the keys in the cars, even when driving around our little town.

Parents never had to worry about their children being out on long walks or bike rides, didn't have to know exactly where they were all the time, didn't have to worry about them being out in the evening.

Of course, no one neutered or spayed their pets...there were puppies all over town that looked like our athletic dog!

ISOIR the first televised 9 dart game of 501, which was almost as rare as hen’s teeth back then. They bang them in weekly now it seems

I just acquired several thousand 45 rpm records. The guy owned a juke box business. Most are crappy pop, rock and country from the 70s - 90s but there are a few gems.

ISOIR smoking sections in high school

 

[Wonderer67]

Yes, after my hoard of cassette tapes, which came AFTER my hoard of 8-Track tapes.

8 tracks were the worst!

I mean, technically, maybe reel to reel was even worse than that… but I don’t think anyone made cars that had reel to reel players.

but they did make 45 players for cars back in the day… here we see Muhammad Ali deciding which 45 to play…
