That’s one thing I loved about being a kid in the 80s was all of the 50s nostalgia references in almost all of pop culture as well as the fact that I live in a part of the nation where a great deal of 50s were still a normal part of everyday life. Buildings, roadside attractions, drive-ins, even a few restaurants and stores still retained their 1950s-early 60s look. Not to mention a lot of the older adults!
Of course 50s movies, cartoons, and TV shows were a normal part of what you watched.
