Will do. But I am in Texas now
Ours used to still have car hops when I was a teen in the 70’s
And we liked it.
Cool is cool.
They still have them in the south too, but they are no longer a viable place.
They are labors of love that some folks keep alive.
Suspicious that the place is totally empty behind him.
I had to count the candles on my cake to determine when that was taken (my photo folder is a mess)
I know most of you think I am pretty dare young, but I know what a record is, a Cassette tape is, I remember a time before computers and the internet.
Hell, I remember when flash drives were brand spanking new. We still used Floppys in High School.
One thing about the “olden days”, women did look like women. I remember the mini skirt era. My boss loved it. He could sit in his office and look down the aisle and see nothing but bear thighs. Then there were hot pants which, along with slacks, our office dress code did not allow. One particularly cheeky gal from keypunch department showed up in a pair one morning. Boss told her she had to go home and change. She went into the ladies room, cut the crotch out and they became a mini skirt so she was good to go back to work.
Everyone around me smoked, drank and ate at their desk while they were working. We had a great time and really cranked out the work.
Just a whole different time. Life was fun.
A giant cake!! LOL
OMG!!
The 80s — a bad hair decade.
You've got to be kidding. How unsafe was that?
Of course there was a drawback....we had to iron them!!
What's an iron Grandma?? ;-)
No “ GREEN “ economy propaganda.
Isaly’s is another of the dying old lunch/breakfast places.
I think the Isaly’s Busy Bee is still around in Youngstown Oh.
The head quarters in Ytown has been shut down for 40 years.

Took my Mom to see An Officer and a Gentleman
when the one guy hung himself over that girl I just started laughing and my Mom hitting me in the ribs wasn’t helping. To make things worse some chick in the audience was also laughing.
Sohhhhh, I’m at the skating rink and sharing my experience with this chick I always liked and she starts laughing her ass off.
It was freaking her!!!! she was the girl laughing at. The movies!!!
We went out for a few months until both our egos needed to move on.
Dan that girl was babelicious!!!! Schwing!!!!
Guns n’ Roses was still bridging the gap between glam metal and grunge.
Hard to say which genre is more dated today. I’ll call it a draw. Grunge is certainly more miserable.
JCPenny seemed to have more customers than I've seen there in a long time. For many months, it has been almost totally bereft of customers.....and clerks as well.
In a nutshell, the mall's concourses were almost empty....and it was a beautiful, sunny Florida afternoon.
Another thing doesn't help....many, many of the smaller stores have gone broke during Obama's reign of terror and their windows are dark. In some of these empty shops non-quality, fly-by-night businesses that belong in flea markets have moved in with strange, cheap merchandise laid out on temporary wooden tables and shelves.
It's only going to get worse....here and everywhere.
Thanks, Obama.

There are not 100 spy cameras everywhere you look.
I rested awhile in a Wal*Mart today. From where I was sitting near the front doors, just for grins, I counted 37 cameras. Some might be fake but that’s still a lot of cameras.
I can go back and listen to classic glam tracks and it sounds like a masterpiece compared to what is popular today.
Grunge was extremely miserable, the anthem to Columbine someone once described it to me as. I always wondered what had pi$$ed grunge bands off so much.
Malls have slowly been invaded and absorbed into the ghetto. Lots of shop-lifting, people killing each other over basketball shoes.
Lets be fair.
The internet killed big malls.
