I could go on and on about how wonderful growing up in the 70s was!!

Braless titties in the wild,

Those little things for single records

Born in 79 but I can still smell the fountain in the mall by the mall arcade. The “older kids” would be smoking and have combs in their back pockets hanging out. When we would walk out of the mall all of the muscle cars riding around. People genuinely seemed “cooler” then. Also remember riding in my uncles 57 Chevy thinking I was so big dog.

Those were the best times… I remember all of that well. Did most, lol!

Born in 1970. I remember all the things you posted.

Talking about the TV and rabbit ears reminded me of going to the store with my dad to test the vacuum tubes from time to time.



All of us in the neighborhood saved up our money to buy one of these:

Logan Earth Ski with Kryptonics wheels


To take to one of these (the closest ones to us living in the suburbs were in Houston):

Texas Pipeline Skatepark in Southwest Houston


I also remember begging my parents for one of these for Christmas:


And this brand of shirt was pretty popular back then as well:

Kennington Polo



As we're these (at least in the Houston/Galveston area as I recall):

Tiddies

So cool. Why the hell did they only have cartoons on Saturday? It’s like they were ignoring the young kid market demo.

I recall later on maybe mid 80s, there was 1 or 2 public channels that ran some cartoons and kid shows or sitcoms in the 3-5pm timeframe.

I remember when I ate a bowl of Wheaties on Saturday morning before watching cartoons. Bruce Jenner was on the box. That was back when he was a male and had won the Olympic Decathlon in 1976

Yes, I remember all of those- and many others.

The part about the neighborhoods being patrolled by those who lived there was very true. The fathers (all of whom were around) were of the WW2 generation, with most being veterans. They didn't take kindly to those up to no good. Every kid knew every house was an armed emergency shelter, in case something bad ever did happen. At least that's how it was in my old neighborhood.....

Born in 1965 so this was my era. I remember when clackers were outlawed. I believe it was Nixon. And one of the reason we weren't so fat back then is there wasn't fast food restaurants on every corner. It was a treat to go to McDonald's or Burger King, not a daily thing.
GI Joe, black lights and going to Spencer's in the mall and looking at the posters hoping they had the Farrah one so you could see, well you know what it was.
It was truly the best time to grow up and I feel bad for all of those who didn't get to experience it
