Here are a few of my memories growing up in North La from the mid 50s to mid 60s.
**My elementary school never had air conditioning.
That's what we were used to though and I don't ever remember it being a problem.
**Divorce was rare(or rarer)
**Most women with kids stayed at home and referred to themselves as housewives
**Three channels only on TV. Most shows until the early 60s were in black and white
**Kids entertained themselves. Parents didn't feel like it was their responsibility.
**When around adults, kids were taught to speak only when spoken to.
**McDonald's hamburgers cost 25 cents
**Movies were 50 cents
**If you did poorly in school, it was your fault not the teacher's
That is so true, NO excuses.
