A few others I remember:
MoonPie and an RC for $0.15(you brought back an empty so you didn't have have to bay the deposit)

Skiing at Aspen and Vail for $8.00 a day, all lifts including the Gondola @ Vail--other areas were a max of 2 bucks

Pendelton shirts were the rage in winter--$15

Having to carry out the "garbage" every night, then carry the can to the curb once a week along w/"trash"can-- then having to clean out the "garbage" can--Yuck!

Having a school "Christmas pagent"

You knew all the neighbors on your block by name--and Summer " Block Parties"

The "coolest" bike was a Schwinn 3-spd and a playing card clothespinned to the frame---Vrooom!

"ape hangers" on your bike or first MC

"DA's" and crewcuts

When you could find and buy a good, used, '57 BelAir for under $500, a convertiable was about $800, "posts" and 4-doors were less

My Dad's '32 " Vicky" 2-door--his fishin'/huntin' car he bought for a 100 bucks in '47--wish he'd kept that one!


guess I really miss those ol' Days--
