How old is everyone in here

[Fletch]

Who remembers gas at under 20 cents a gallon??? Or who remembers what they were doing when JFK was assinated?? That day we got out of school early to watch it on TV... I went home grabbed the single shot 16 gauge,and Sally our beagle... Shot 4 rabbits and 2 Ringneck Roosters...

Milk Man
Trash guys walked to the back of the house to get the cans... Then put them back....

 

[hickslawns]

well fuck, I'm one of the old guys now. beats the alternative, I guess.

Woolworth, Rink's, Hart's, Gold Circle, Service Merchandise. when going to the store was still fun.

I miss having a Woolworth. Bought my first BB gun at Service Merchandise. Took a lot of begging to get my parents to okay it. Hart's and Rinks I remember. Gold Circle? Never heard of it.

I remember when I was a kid, the milkman would come to the house and deliver milk (in glass bottles) and also have pies and later on they started selling fruit juices.

Had the metal cooler by the front door, empties in it before going to bed and wake up to full bottles.... Too a kid it was magic

I remember flagging down the milkman while walking to Mogadore Reservoir to fish. He always gave us some hunks of ice and on occasion a free quart of chocolate milk. And I never felt he was going to throw me in the back of his truck and rape me either. Times have really changed.

My favorite store was Clarkin's. My younger brother helped put them out of business. He stole more fishing lures from that store than they sold. The Mogadore bass still inhaled our "hot" Rapalas and Lazy Ikes.

57 but my body feels like70.

You guys wont remember Gas and Go in Ashtabula, how about Sunoco gas stations where they gave you soap of the dinosaur?

 

[Fletch]

How about S & H green stamps?

Yup it was either S & H Green Stamps or Plaid Stamps... How about black and white TV's

63. I was a home delivery milkman for 14 months shortly after I graduated from High School in 1973, but by then glass bottles were no more.

 

[giles]

I was in the 3rd or 4th grade when we got our first color TV. Bid counsel thing with knobs on it...plenty or room for the rabbit ears, old stereo, VCR player and the VCR rewinder.

 

[Bowkills]

33 here. I remember picking up the land line dialing 5 numbers. Gas was 98 cents when I was 16. I called the game warden at 13 to see if I could hunt alone 300yrds behind my parents house who were non hunters. He said yes if they know where you are. Right on. When people had guns in there vehicles at school they said just take them home and come back........alot has changed in a very short time....

 

[Hortontoter]

In about the 4th grade I remember my cousin bringing a sparrow he shot with his BB gun to school for show and tell. Can you imagine that today.

 

[Jackalope]

Born in Al and grew up in Ms, which as my wife says is like stepping 20 years back in time. We had three channels on an old B&W UHF tv. No rabbit ears and no motor on the antenna tower outside, you climbed up and turned that sucker by hand. Hell we didn't even have an real address until I was about 11. If you wanted to mail us something you had to send it to "Mail Route 2 Box 189c"

 

[brock ratcliff]

For most of my childhood we had NO TV. Not a big deal except my dad worked for RCA!
