What do you consider the best of the Sixties?
The way of life and as a kid growing up in Southern California it was AWESOME!
People were nicer and friendly. People did for one another
Sunday was family day. Your neighborhood was sace you had get togethers, it was s time for PEOPLE to be with each other.
Now a days people socialize on computers,.
Neighborhoods are behind gates managed by HOA, people do not know each other, adults are afraid to talk or approach little kids out of fear being labeled a pedophile or pervert.
The way of every day life is what I feel many Baby Boomers miss and what the rest of the generations after that have no clue about.

You are so right. Now days people email or text each other but they don’t really socialize or talk to one another.
There are people I used to be very close to that never call me or get together in person but will send me emails. I will email or call them asking when we can get together in person I don’t get a response.
I live in a townhouse community and know the names of my neighbors on either side but I don’t really know them. Last Christmas I had an open house and none of the neighbors I invited bothered to show up.
When I was a kid, neighbors were friends. Many families went to church together and the kids went to the same school and played together.
Things are so much different now and not for the better.
