I grew up in the 1960's and 1970's . I miss those times. I grew up in the LA area and the only five and dime there was was a stop and go. And where I live now there was a Woolworths, I miss it. I do miss when I grew up and played with my friends, ah, the memories. This video makes me happy, I will be 62 this year. And I remember quite a bit.

This all applies to growing up in the 70's too. Even the sock hops we would even dress in 50's gear, the parents would come, often in the community center. We were told DON'T come home until the street lights come on! We knew which kid's Mom would have snacks or drinks, the ice cream man would come and we'd beg for a quarter.

I remember it all!! the freedom to be a kid...wow! i wish my grandchildren and great grandchildren could experience my childhood for a few days. they would have loved it!!!

What a great time to grow up. Back then, the ONLY teen that may have told their parent to "FO" was JAMES DEAN ! Today, it's common to hear teens say that to their parents. Families were always the focal point. We did everything as a family, from going to a movie, getting a pizza, or even going to the mall. Sure miss those days.

Until we bought our own set, I used to go across the street to borrow my neighbor's encyclopedias.

I miss the older times. Morals are almost nonexistent. This was more of an innocent era. We're things perfect? No. But the times were a bit better. People still had common courtesy, regard for others, and a slower pace was a thing.

The very good old days ì miss those days

I remember the “Sears” book. The old books were used for toilet paper in the outhouses for a while. Dinner together was so good for communication & many things. I tried with my kids, when they were younger it was fine, but as they got a little older(middle school); they protested. Games outside; Red Rover Red Rover, Olley Olley Oxen Free, Hide & Seek, Tag, & Simon Says. The Dime Store was like a Nemus Marcus to a poor kid. Woolworth’s shakes were to die for thick & so good. A Science Set was a little scary for me, but one of my brothers loved it. My favorite cold cereal was Sugar Pops. I still occasionally hand write letters, but completely throw people off (confused them). I remember seeking a trunk load of people into the drive-in. What fun!!😂 I believe there is still a drive-in at the town of Galva, 24:23 Illinois. Arrowheads were what collected as kids. Oh yes, we also collected horseshoes, too. We had bowling in PE in high school.

My dad worked at Montgomery Ward and then Sears as a Electronic Repair. My mom worked at JC Penny's in the shoes dept. We used to get some really good discounts. Almost all of our school clothes came for there.

Loved the Sear's catalog. I remember when there were fabric swatches included in the clothing section. That was in the early 1960's.

I worked for Woolworth diner in Columbus, Ohio back in 1980.

Sears was Amazon before Amazon! It didn’t keep up with the technology.
We played red light Green light until dark.

Too many of these pictures are from the 70s - 90s. More 50s pictures as well as talk would've been so much nicer.

My Mom worked for W. T. Grant department store. They decided to have a regional competitions for scholarships and so I went to college. Ultimately to graduate school and became a chemist for Polaroid. We enjoyed life in the 50’s and particularly with the family.

We had "Greaser Days" in 1975.
