I was 22 in 1950, it was one of the best decades of my entire life that I will never forget, I joined the US Navy at 1956 and married a year later to a beautiful wife, she sadly passed away last October and I still cherish every moment I spent with her during those happy times, I'm still learning to adapt with modern technology and I hope I make to be one of the oldest individuals on the planet, Thank you!

What I remember most about the '60's was all the neighborhood kids would play outside until dark with no fears. We only went home to eat dinner and go to sleepš. Life was so simple but so glorious!

Itās strange how you can be nostalgic for times youāve never experienced. Itās a weird, almost indescribable feeling.

man, what I wouldn't give to spend an afternoon walking the streets of some of these towns and cities. a unique time in America. a time a lot of people look back on as the good old days in this country, not to say the time period was without its flaws, no time period truly is, but in these pictures, it just seems so wonderful.

I had forgotten about the roadside picnic tables. People would pack lunch for a drive and stop at these tables and eat instead of eating out. A different time in a different country.

I was born in 1949. The 1950s was my childhood. If you weren't there in the 1950s it would take me a lifetime to try and explain just how beautiful and tranquil this decade was. Life was fast-paced and yet extremely laid-back. We will never witness this again......

Back in that Era you felt safe. My folks asked where I was going and just said to come home when the street lights came on. We mostly only locked our doors when we went on vacation. The neighbors knew our names and would help keep an eye on us.

Great time to be alive. So different from today.

I was born in the middle 30's and graduated in 1955......My first full-time job was 1 dollar an hour......My first car was a 1947 Ford convertible (like Biff's car in Back to the Future) and It COST me lots of bucks (300 dollars) Ha......Like in the song (Moments to Remember by the Four Lads).........The drive-in movies were we would go, and somehow never watch the show....... Have a great life everyone........

I was there. Best thing about the 50's was no social media.
-
No greater decade than the 50s. Living then meant you were on top of the world. Good times.
-
the best years of this country.

My Dad was so proud and handsome sporting his late 50s green Mercury. First new car he ever owned. It was a peaceful calm, kind and respectful era. 'We will never pass this way again.' Born in 1950, I'm blessed to have lived it. šŗšøā¤ļø

My father was in his prime in 1955 ..he always says it was by far the greatest period to be alive and especially in the northern US states. Cars, ships, trains and planes they all were beautiful and well built right here in the good old USA.

I was born in the 1950ās, life was much less complicated growing up. I think they were much happier times. Everyone is so slim in these photos, whatās happened to the world? I miss the old times

Bach in the '50s, at the age of 6 my friends and I would set out on a Saturday morning, walk 1.5 miles to small lake to fish and horse around. The only thing my mother would say, "make sure your home for dinner". Imagine letting a 6 yr old go out on his own today! Nowadays you can't let your kids off your property without supervision . What a great time!
-
This was a great time. people actually talked to each other
-
I was born in 1957, and even though my earliest memories were from 1960 on, the Fifties atmosphere continued for most of the 60s.Yes, all the cars really did look like that!
-
What a beautiful time to be alive!

Everything about this video reminds me so much about my childhood (born in '52) that it brings tears to my eyes. Kids today have no idea what they missed.
