Steel sidewalk skates.

Cap Pistols

Toy Guns for boys to play Army or cowboys and Indians with

Wooden tops with the steel points to have "Top Wars"

Kids not playing marbles any more

Riding bicycles and not looking like you're heading out to defuse a bomb with all that damn padding on.

Nothing like those school drills to "Duck and Cover" by putting your arms and hands over your head as you got under the leaf of your school desk to protect us in case they dropped the big one.

Saturday morning cartoon shows on regular TV networks


On the one hand, kids today have what we kids of the 70s and early 80s dreamed of, namely 24/7 cartoons.

On the other hand, kids today will never know the pure euphoria of waking up on Saturday morning, getting a much too big bowl of Coco-Pebbles or Fruit Loops, and turning on Saturday morning cartoons.

Flat top hair cuts


When I joined the army, you could go to the PX and get an absolute perfect flat top. That’s what I wore for most of my time. It’s a lost art now.
