We all vary so much in age, but we all have those things that were around during childhood (…that no longer exist) or that are still around and remind us of our childhood(s). Post them up!!!!

As a Kid, remember standig at the dealers window, dreaming of this car. 5 Years ago, I bought it.

M_Six · 07-13-2022, 09:39 PM

Pictures of The White Mountains in NH. Spent many summers as a kid up there on the Saco River. Can't see a pic of that area without major flashbacks.

Had one of these, but my brother traded it for, get this, a lawnmower. I was away in the Army at the time. I still remind about it too.

Nice.

What year was that? Mine was about 1964. Maybe earlier. Memory is a little foggy.

I was 16, 17 at that time. Gave up bikes for cars. But bikes were so much fun back then.

I remember those trucks stopping by my neighborhood. The delicious cream puffs.

It was like the ice cream truck that used to come by. Yummy.

Dpc2u · 07-14-2022, 06:52 AM

We'd post up in front of this thing for our allotted hour of "TV" time every day. I still remember mom yelling at us to backup from the TV or we would ruin our eyesight.

50 years later I make my living sitting a foot away from two 27" computer monitors 10 hours a day.
