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.

The year I graduated high school.
I never really thought the era was about anything except a bunch of people too focused on themselves.

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.

I remember seeing this exact bathroom - in purple too.

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.

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.

“25. When Marlon Brando Rejected His Oscar for ‘The Godfather,’ Allowing Sacheen Littlefeather To Stand Against Hollywood’s Portrayal of Native Americans”

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.
