You might like 1960 all the way up until summer when you find out there’s no AC. Or until January when you find out there’s no power shovels. Hope you land somewhere that has all the fruits and vegetable you like grown within a couple of hundred miles, food didn’t travel far back then, which of course also means “out of season out of luck” because there are no imports. Goes for animal products too, if you like sea food you better live near the sea. You also better not like to travel because the interstate highways were only just starting, trains kind of suck, and planes were very expensive. Hopefully you won’t have a lot of stuff either, the average home back then was half the size of now. Car ownership was less than 1 per household too, and those cars had no AC and only a radio for entertainment.
1960 really wasn’t that awesome.
Folks were snappy dressers, though. You’re right about the AC. Summer in the South with no AC was brutal. That’s why people lived in Buffalo.
