Were you alive in 1960?
 

If you were, and you remember anything about it, please share your memories with me, especially anything related to swimming, summer, food, drinks, clothes, and parties.

thanks :)

alive? That's funny.

Let's see people born in 1950 would have been turning 10. People born in 1940 would be 20. I guess it depends on who you want reporting what.

Nice way to call out the people getting their AARP cards in the mail.:)

Born 7-66 I remember sitting between my fathers legs watching moon landings. Most of my friends had model cars.I had Apollo rockets.

I graduated from 8th grade that year. Swimming was done more in swimming holes in local creeks than in public swimming pools. Big treat to go to a lake to swim. 16 oz root beer could be bought for 11 cents. Block dances downtown, band concerts in the park. Mostly old fart bands, but they were good. Garage bands played at dances we had to pay to get into. My clothes were hand me downs, so I didn't have much chance to follow latest fashions.
All this in a small village, and I was the 7th of 7 children, and my father worked in a factory, so not much money unless I found work, which was hard to do under age 16.

WTF are you on about, you crazy bitch? I'm not calling anyone out, I am interested in the memories of people who were around in 1960. I know you are a little "challenged" but how hard is that to understand?

That's cool, thanks.

Offering root beer 1960s style at 1960s prices could be a fun thing. Were you in New York then?

..and were the bands in bandstands?

Uuummm. Oh yahh. Dr.creep the late sat. night horror movie...braiiins. He was the host with the ghost.

"Only the Shadow Knows"

I remember...

The Beanie and Cecil cartoon - I got the stuffed Cecil for Christmas one year. He talked when I pulled his string.
