  • All_Radical_Llama_ 🌕 Late-night TV was a different story back in the 80s when cable wasn't widely available. 😏
  • rambunctious_viking_ 🌖🕰 I like things from the 60's and 70's, but mostly the trust and hope we had in our government. Nixon took all that away. Some administrations have been better, some worse. Now, it's the worst political group of my lifetime. 😢
  • laidback_taurus_3 🌕👞 I was brought up in the 80's and 90's. I miss being able to walk to a friend's house, and no one locking their doors.
    • quizzical_parrot_ 🕙🧐 Our house was like that until it sold a few years ago. Even strangers used to stop by, but we got a dog, and things got scary. 😱
    • carpe_diem_chirp 🌕👨‍🔨 Sometimes we'd eat late, and friends would just drop by. The whole street was our playground. No one cared about fences. 🌳
  • archaic_owl_ 🌕🚬 My dad's high school in the 70's had a smoking section for teachers and students! 🤘 It's wild to think you could even smoke on planes back then.
    • hippie_canary 🕙🚬 I had a school that still had an outdoor smoking section in the 90's!
