This is a compilation of my older videos. Past decades offer up many things that capture the essence of the time. Since the 1960s there have been countless things that, at the time, seemed perfect, but through the years they simply faded away. The must-haves from those analog decades of the 1960s through the 1980s have now been abandoned for newer, faster, or sometimes more compact replacements. So, let’s take a look back, and if you lived through these years, you will remember many of these abandoned items!

I remember Woolworth's soda fountain. They made the best Cokes. A little syrup and carbonated water. And with a grilled cheese sandwich and some chips. Man, that was living.
-
These videos are double edged for someone who lived through the years. On one hand there are good memories and reminders of our youth, on the other hand it makes you realize you are getting old and will never experience those memories again. I guess that's just part of getting older.

I miss shoe stores and the good service and sizeing so much.
-
My eldest sister got a job a Wham-O when I was 11. She would come home with something for the rest of us every now and then. Good times.
-
Back then, all clothes were well made with lots of nice details.

When he notes that the hula hoop was mentioned by Alvin and the Chipmunks, I immediately found myself singing: I still want a hula hoop. We can hardly stand the wait. Please Christmas don't be late.

I'm 59 and I remember everything from the 70's this was awesome and i miss them, Thanks for the Memories.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲

I still have my VHS tapes and video player and recorder and yes they all still work

We abandoned faith, pride in country, common decency & common sense too.

58 model here. Those 60s years were great but the 70s fantastic!
-
Born in '49 the 60s was my growing up decade and I wish I could turn the clock back and just stay there. Better, simpler times.

A couple of other things I remember: The day my mom bought me my first pair of bell-bottom pants. Bell bottoms were very popular in the 1960s for both sexes, but that fad disappeared after the 1970s. Lava lamps were all over the place back then too.

You didn’t mention Harvest Gold appliance which were alongside of the avocado
-
I had the snoopy snow cone machine, I loved that thing!!!
-
Wow, who would have thought fall out shelters are making a comeback

As a kid, it was fun to go out with friends, whether it was to the mall, arcade, roller rink, or bowling alley. They were safe places where you could enjoy leisure activities with other kids your own age. It was sad to see them fade away. After the covid lockdown and forced isolation, I really thought people would VALUE in-person interaction more. Instead, many choose to stay home and only interact online, not even leaving for work or shopping.

In 78 and 79 I sold Kinney shoes at the Beaverton Mall and Washington Square in Oregon. I was 18 and 19. It was cool to wear a suit to work, "Chicks dig it"(LOL!) I had a Farrah poster on my bedroom wall. Who didn't fall in love with Winnie Cooper?.......

Seeing the faux wood grain on that blender brings back memories. Everything from the alarm clock to the station wagon had it!
-
Green and orange shag carpet and beanbag furniture with beads in the doorways.

We NEED to go back!!!!!!!
