It was a significant year for me. In some ways it seems like forever ago and other ways it’s hard to believe it was that long ago.
I was 5 in ‘73. Great cartoons, and we lived in Ft. Lauderdale. I was a feral suburban kid, the youngest of 5. I walked to and from school on my own, could walk to the store, and the cartoons were BRILLIANT.
I do remember carpet in one of the bathrooms in the house we had in Stuart. It was lime green.
That Penney’s catalog pic is a scream. lol
Vintage?
The year I graduated high school.
I never really thought the era was about anything except a bunch of people too focused on themselves.
78? I was married with a baby and lived in a trailer. Good times!
This has an agenda. I do not remember seeing women with a tattoos except at a carnival freak show. Not one. Never saw a electric car in the 70s, ever.
Burger, fries and a shake $0.89 🤩
I love shag carpet - love it to this day. Beats the generic, flat "oatmeal" that everyone seems to have these days, or noisy wooden floors which I hate even more.
Love the one of Robert Plant and the dove!
I was married, my son was 3, and I was working at Blue Cross as a MTST operator...anyone know what MTST was?
Notice how nobody is fat. WAY WAY less ultra processed food and way more real food.

Thanks for the memories. I ETS’d out of the Army in March, ‘73.
I like the “Honeymooners” best.
Summer of 1973 was when I backpacked by myself in Europe. Celebrated my 18th birthday in London with a curry and my first legal beer (though by no means my first beer). Unfortunately, I have long since lost the notebook containing my journal of the trip; I’d love to reread it now.

She turned out to be a PRETENDIAN.It was said it took six men to hold John Wayne back from rushing the stage. He had one lung, gasped through his lines and had to use doubles. I doubt he could have rushed the stage.
Disturbing to see “vintage” regarding the ‘70s.
1973 was the year that American cars officially turned into crap.
I remember those days. I worked at McD's at that time.
