I am a child of the 60s, a wonderful time to be a kid. You’d be roaming the neighborhood all day and parents never knew when you were, other than the tell-tale sign of everyone’s bike laying in someone yard. I had the Creepy Crawlers (still do and I play with it with my grandson) - yes you burned yourself a few times but it taught you a lesson. Matchbox cars, Hot Wheels, GI Joe, Jarts, the list goes on.
So true, except I had Barbie. I also had a Western Flyer bike that beat all the other kids with their banana seat bikes. Fave times? Playing outside after dark without a care in the world. Best decade to grow up in!
There were also so many sidewalk and street games; we had Punch Ball, Skelly (which was primarily played by boys as well as Stick Ball), Stoop ball, Hopscothch, Hide-n-Seek, Red light/Green light, Hit the Penny, Hoola Hoop contests, etc. There were games that only girls played such as Alphabet Chant where you went through the alphabet while bouncing a ball and each time you said a word with the letter of the alphabet you were up to you crossed you leg over the ball...the first girl to get through the entire alphabet without any mistakes won the game. There was a game called Russian Ten which was also played with a ball. Everyone's rubber ball of choice was a Spalding until the Pensy Pinky came along.
Born in 1950, this was the peak of my youth. The 60's were great and aweful at the same time. 1955 to 63 were the best of times, but it all changed in November of 63. We went from innocence to shock in every part of our culture. I bore witness to cruelty and the rise of discontent as war and the struggle for racial equality were pitted against national values. As kids, both black and white, we bonded stronger than ever through music. Ike & Tina, Aretha, Sam & Dave, Marvin, Isley Bro, Wilson Picket, Otis, Little Stevie, The Supremes were the salve that soothed our worried souls. Yes, we had our white brothers and sister entertainers, but they never excited us as much as the soul music. I am grateful that I got to see them all live at the Coconut Groves in Miami. In the early 70's we got on the Love Train and stayed until it ran off the tracks. I'll be 74 in February, I truly miss those days. I long for peace and brotherhood in an America that is falling apart. You are the heart and soul of that, Jamal. You remind me of those times. Bless you.
I'm 72, and must've grown up a few counties north of you. What you remembered about bonding through the music (and dances) was so true! I remember in the mid-1960's going with a friend to see James Brown live at the old West Palm Beach Civic Auditorium. He was such a great showman! The place was packed that night. I looked around, and I think my friend and I were the only two white girls in the place! But no matter, a good time was had by all, rocking and swaying to "Poppa's Got A Brand New Bag", lol! Wouldn't trade those memories (and many more) for anything! 😊
1950 too - ahh the independence. the concerts, self-reliance. Lived in Oregon so not much exposure to the negative things until Viet Nam. The the world changed
I turned 16 in 1960. I walked just over a half mile to a Catholic school in the 50’s, but the day after school let out for the summer, I was at my Grandparents’ farm. The best of both worlds. On Chicago’s Southside, I owned a BB gun at the age of 10, while Gramps gave me a single shot 22, a real gun, at the age of 9. I can remember when White Castle hamburger was $0.07 and a pack of cigarettes was $0.21. I was very fond of penny candy. In fact, you could buy 3 pieces of Michigan cherries, a small round red confection just a bit larger than a marble, for one penny. Being a few years older than most boomers, I smoked my first joint in ‘68 while my 10 years younger brother lit up in ‘67. Just to present contrast, as I watch your channel and comment on my IPad.
I was born in 1948 so this video flooded me with memories. As a teen my dad always walked on the side next to the road when walking down the street. He would also pull my chair out at supper. So I expected that from my young boyfriends and yes of course the young men had the same manners. Aw it was GREAT!
The freedom we had as kids growing up in the 60s was unimaginable. Summers we spent all day swimming at the YMCA, riding bikes, playing kickball, baseball, basketball, kick the can, exploring a nearby pasture on foot, bike, & horseback, playing in the creek. And there was a week of Vacation Bible School. A neighbor invited us & provided transportation there & back home. Your neighbors were trustworthy & looked out for us. And when it was scorching hot we chilled indoors & played Monopoly, or played records, or watched The Big Show & reruns of Gilligan's Island. After the sun went down we would resume our outdoor activities. And I also remember how glorious the sun felt walking to school in the spring...we would beg to walk to school because we always had mom or a grandparent drive us, but we wanted to rejoice with Nature after the cold subsided. And speaking of cold, when it snowed we played out in that all day too! Sledding, building snowmen, snow forts, having snowball fights, making snow cream & we'd watch the weather at night praying school would be closed the next day!
You asked what our favorite part of this video is. I was born in 1953 and watching you and hearing your comments is my favorite part. The memories are good but you make me smile and sometimes laugh. Thank you!!
Buying a roll of caps (which were the ammo-like things you put in the cap guns) was fun even without loading it into a cap gun. You could just unroll it, then take a rock and hit one of the spots on the roll, and it would make a tiny explosion.
@@ronbeck201Hey, I know you. You're that kid from down the street with the missing fingers, aren't you? :D I was too scared to hit more than one spot on the roll at a time.
Remember Greenie Stick-em caps? That went into the Derringer Belt buckle, the one where when you stuck your belly out the gun would swing out and Bang! scare the cat? Good times...
You could pop the caps with your thumbnail too and I remember the scorch marks that left, LOL. There were some metal rocket things that you tossed up in the air that would pop the cap when they landed.
I was a teenager during the 60's and rules were followed and if not there were consequences. We did not want to lose our freedom to be with friends or go to movies or just hang out. It was more business oriented rather than today's generation that have put entertainment in the forefront. I do believe the 60's kids had it so much better.
I was born in the 60's and I love that time but if I had a choice of what era to be stuck in it would be the 1970's. I LOVE the 70's! I'm 60 years old and the changes are many and most not for the best. Our children today are out of control, self centered, they won't work, they don't listen and they show NO respect to anyone. I miss the music, disco, clothes and just the era in general. Thank you Jamel for doing this video. It was most enjoyable!

Don't think Jesus was on Earth to condemn us but to save us imagine You know the Son of your President will come visit your house you will want to honor him now the Son come but people don't recognize the Son of the President he had right to enforce laws but he liked more to serve people The story about the Son and the President already happened the Son is Jesus Christ and the President is God the Father So Jesus was on Earth but his people (the Jews) didn't liked him and even mocked and hurt and beat him ! The hated him so much that they crucified him on the Cross but he rose again the third day Bible Matthew 22 1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
I'm 71 and grew up in West Palm Beach, FL. In the 60's my dad would let me take his shotgun and go dove or quail hunting by myself. I walked about half a mile from the house along the highway with the gun over my shoulder and nobody thought anything about it. Could you imagine what would happen today if someone saw something like that?

Born in 1958, I remember all of this. Walking to school with friends was so much fun! My favorite Swanson TV Dinner was the Fried Chicken meal. I watched Bonanza every Sunday night. Going to the drive-in movie theater with our parents felt like a special treat. I also played with Silly Putty. Now, there were some events going on at the time that weren't so pleasant, but I cherish the joyful ones. Good one, Jamel!

I'm 62 born in 1961 and I couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful, active, social childhood I had. A teen in the 70's was THE BEST! The 80's in my 20's all great... I guess everyone thinks their era was the best, but I wouldn't change a thing about being alive in the 60's and 70's.... and yes Jamal, DISCO SUCKS! LOL!!!! give me Hendrix, Zepplin, Bowie etc., all day long ... but we still went to the disco's for the social aspect, however the concerts back then were unreal!!!! five dollars and they'd play for 3 hours!!!!!!

I wish we could go back to these times. The family dynamic back then was priceless. But if I had to choose a decade for music I would definitely choose the 70’s, hands down.
I’m 61 years old. I remember McDonald’s special was 10 hamburgers for a dollar and cheeseburgers were 10 for $2. Also had gas 19 cents a gallon. In the 60’s I used one of my brothers army backpacks for my books. I did walk a mile to school in the ghettos of Detroit.

I was born in 1960 so, I grew up with all this, it was a different world, much more friendly and nicer in many ways. Not everyone had a home telephone so, if you wanted to see a friend you'd have to walk to their house to see if they were in, if they weren't, you'd ask if their parents knew where they were, then you would walk there to find them, if you did you'd then play outside, there were very few overweight kids (or adults for that matter) then, there wasn't as many cars around either particularly during work hours. I'd live in the '70s for sure, the music was great, life wasn't too commercial yet and most people had good manners.

A friend and I were discussing the old Jell-O flavors the other day. They had at least 4 flavors that were marketed as Jell-O for Salads. They were Mixed Vegetable, Celery, Seasoned Tomato, and Italian Salad. My mom utilized them in several recipes that weren’t bad. I think they were phased out in the early 1970s, if I’m not mistaken.
I remember most of this stuff. I was a kid in the 60s and a teenager in the 70s. When I was nine I attended a school that was 15 miles from home, and would ride there on two commuter trains each way with my sister. Hard to imagine today.

I remember boys walking on the “outside “ next to the road, so if a car came up onto the sidewalk they would get it and the girl would be ok, so many sweet things boys did to make us feel better back then. And things we did to make them feel special, I miss those days, going on dates, real dates, not finding a place to have sex. I don’t know anyone who goes on dates anymore.

Hun, I'm 76 and in the 50's I was a kid. in the 60's i was a teen, and I remember it all. Your question what is my fave era, I would say 50's & 60's by far. I liked the 70's but things started going south in the 90's and just kept getting worse. IMO. Thanks for the vid.
Sure you walked to school, but back then you knew everyone in your neighborhood. You knew and were welcomed in every house on your block, and on just about every block you knew a few of the families who lived there, people looked out for one another. Most houses had stay at home moms so you had surrogate moms on every block. These days people are lucky to know the next door neighbor.
There were Blue Star homes,too,when more mothers were at home. They were safe houses if a child was being followed, or needed help. Mom was alarmed when my brother said he stopped at a blue star home on the way home. He just needed to use the bathroom.
i'd actually walk home from jr high, 2 miles, high school, 5 miles, rain, sweltering heat, bitter cold, deep snow...never occurred to me to want it any easier...
1960 here… we moved from Virginia to southern Arizona by the time I was seven or eight. We didn’t know any different when I came to doing chores. my oldest sister did the heavy duty stuff, middle sister, and myself clean the rest. My parents had a crew three daughters before my little brother showed up. That house was never really dirty, except for maybe cleaning up wrapping paper from the Christmas piles we got. We lived in a really large subdivision with a pool, so we joined the swim team. There was no mom or dad needs to pick you up. You either took the sidewalk or if it wasn’t a busy golf day run across the course fast as you could. Mom worked in a bank, and from what she taught me at 63 years old I can honestly say I have never bounced a check. Don’t spend what you don’t have! High school years were either babysitting for money, or actually finding a job that paid more. I’ll tell you what the one thing that my mom taught me was not too overspend. So basically what I was doing while babysitting was if I wanted to buy something save up for it but also at the same time take half the money I did make and put it in the bank

Thing Maker was one of my favourite toys as a kid in the 60s. My mother insisted on doing the baking part, though. We had a flower set and another set that might have been the Creepy Crawler one or some sort of monster one.

I was born in 1949 and growing up with my childhood in the’50’s and playing on an acre lot in the SFV in So Cal… in 61 we moved to the north west SFV. We had orange groves and undeveloped rolling hills to ride our bikes, later dirt motorcycles… it was the best. I was warned not to even speak to any strangers, no matter what they said. And if someone offered you candy…. Run to a person of authority as fast as possible! Wonderful. No backpacks until the 70’s and they were called book-bags, not backpacks

Hey Jamel. Happy New Year! I'm 73 now and I was born in 1950 so I remember all of the things on this video. My grandmother was born in 1896 and she taught us that when a man and woman were walking together, the man should always walk on the street side. She said this came from the days of the horse and carriage when you would sometimes get splashed with mud from the passing horse-driven vehicle. The man would take the brunt of the splash and protect the woman from harm. I'm sure this sounds old-fashioned and sexist now, but at the time this was considered correct. We walked to school and never had a problem with it. We had a small black and white TV and didn't mind. We would listen to AM music stations on our little table radio and suffer through all the commercials and DJ chatter without complaint. We were not allowed to answer the telephone during dinner because that was considered family time. No voice mail, no call waiting, no caller ID. we were told that if the call was important, they would call back. I enjoyed this video and your reaction. Keep up the great work. Peace.

I was born in 58, so I grew up in the 60s, and 70s, black and white TV, my dad had a remote me, we only had 3 channels, drive in on the weekend, steel slides at school, we sat at our desk's and listened to the teacher, back talk got you the paddle, and usually got it again at home, we learned respect for police, firemen, teachers, ate home cooked meals, fast food was a treat and only on rare occasions.
Yep, born same year and same memories, although we didn't have a remote, we had to get up to change the channel. And walked to school, took no more than 10 to 15 minutes. And collecting pop bottles to get money for candy. Finding a nickel or dime was great but finding a quarter: woo hoo! I'm rich!
THE 60S WERE GREAT! KIDS TODAY DON'T KNOW WHAT FUN IS. I HAVE TO TELL MY GRAND KIDS STORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD AND THEY CAN'T GET ENOUGH. SINCE I GREW UP IN THE COUNTRY I HAVE A MILLION OF THEM. GOD BLESS YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Walking to school was what you did. Cheap candy was awesome. Drive ins were a blast. Hee hee! The TV Dinner. Some were actually good. Loved Bonanza! This was my childhood!
I'm a 60's kid. We never locked our doors when we went to bed or when we went out. I had many toys that would be shunned today for being dangerous but you learned how to work with them without ever getting hurt. I remember being 2 yrs old and walking over to a friends house that was a couple blocks away without adult supervision. You knew where you friends were all at by all the bikes laying out front of someone's house. I'm really not sure which era I would want to go back to permanently, the 60's or the 70's. The 60's were great for my preteen years and the 70's were great for my teen years...hard choice to make

was born in 1960 and as others have commented I lived it and remember it all , even the Jello with the peas and stuff - and yes it was as bad as you are thinking ! who has hidden in the trunk just to get into the drive in for free ?
I was born 85....and i can tell you. These kids wouldnt even believe how awesome it was being young kids in the 90s. Anytime before social media will be the golden era. The kids will say we are out of touch. But we lived w no internet, early internet, and social media. Nothing beats the simpler times before this mess. So much fun.
77 my highschool never had Internet. Didn't have a cell phone until I was in my late 20's. Just calls. The 80's and 90's were Amazing. 2000+ the decline
We had rubber book straps that stretched around your pile of school books and was held closed with two clips. Silly Putty was ubiquitous and besides using it on comic strips, it also bounced when rolled into a ball shape.
I was born in 51 so I was old enough to remember the 60’s. Loved days when we had TV dinners it was a treat for us. My favorite was the fried chicken. Plus in the 60’s I saw The Beatles twice. Glad I was old enough to go to my first concert.
A trip down memory lane for me. No seatbelts, playing outside after dark--FREEDOM! Hours outside, Saturday morning cartoons, riding in the back of a pickup truck. Life was awesome
The jellied dinner was made out of clear gelatin. It was called aspic or meat jelly and it was a savory gelatin made with a meat stock or broth. And yes they were gross.😁
@@gaildevaney6074 My mom usually made ham or beef flavors. They tasted great and as a kid I was always looking forward to see what new thing she would put in it. She made them with love and I’m sure you would agree anything made with love tastes great. I have fond memories of my mom’s meals. I don’t know how she did it with such little money, but I always enjoyed our family meals made with her love. I only had a little problem with the texture. One of my first memories was when we received a Christmas canned ham from our church and I ate some of it along with the jelly. It must have been bad, my mother usually cooked it first but I got to it first. I was sick for a long long time. So, to this day I have a hard time eating anything jellied sweet or savory. I find the texture to be a little gross. But her gelatin dinners always tasted great and made me feel loved.
I was glad to hear you specifically talk about the guy walking on the street side to protect the lady. Like a lot of things, many people today don't give it a thought. To me, it shows good manners and good upbringing.
I was born in 1960, and to address younger kids walking to school alone, first of all, adults would have never, ever, worn anything but hard shoes, like loafers, tie dress shoes or boots. Grown me typically wore button up shirts and dress pants, with many wearing a full suit and tie as normal everyday attire. We all had a very good sense of awareness and if an oddball creepy was within two blocks, we noticed. Now go through all of these nostalgia videos again and notice that there were rarely, if any, people with weight issues and every last one of us could scramble, run, jump, climb and and crawl over or under anything in a split second. Now the creepies blend right into the crowd because there's just no telling the good guys from the bad guys and, to compound the problem, the physical education programs in public school is just horrible and the garbage they serve the little guys for lunch should be illegal. There was also very little chance of being "bullied" because we all stood our ground and there was no honorable teacher that would punish two guys for slugging it out. They'd let you fight for a few minutes, break it up and, send you on your way, no detention, no turning it into a police issue, no councilors, no CPS or reprimand whatsoever. So, today? Its the politicians that have turned our children into defenseless prey by failing to instill physical discipline, keeping fit and eating healthy. Then there's the FDA, the biggest enemy of school children, that will allow anything you can imagine to be added to our food, as long as it saves or makes a buck. But I digress... in the 60's there's just no way a creepy was ever going to catch a kid. We were like cats and no grown ass man in hard shoes was going to have any chance. A grown man in sneakers? Everybody for miles would have noticed and run him out of the neighborhood.

I was in 6th grade in 1968. I can’t agree that school lunches were better then. I found worms on several occasions in my food. Needless to say, I started bringing a sack lunch.
I grew up in the 60’s !! The tv dinners were when my Dad went hunting or fishing! Lol, always walked to school! Lol my first job at 14, I made $1.50 an hour!! Lol
Almost 70 born in 54. My husband always walks between me and the street and still opens doors for me. He also always sits in a restaurant facing the door so he can see if anything is a cause of concern. One of our neighborhood fathers worked at a zoo on weekends, another worked security at the Atlanta stadium as an off duty cop during baseball games. Another dad worked at an amusement park. We got to go to the baseball games, zoo and amusement park free and we all piled into the bed of a pickup truck to get there. We stayed outside until the street lights came on cause it was understood you went home when the street lights came on. We piled into cars and stuffed people into trunks of cars to go to the drive-in. Those were the days. We walked to school and were never afraid. Most of the mothers were stay at home moms and all of them kept their eyes open watching all kids walking to and from school. Back then you knew your neighbors and the people along your route you were like a village watching out for each other. People that didn't even have kids watched out for all the kids. We walked to the store everyday after school. We would collect soda bottles along the way to cash in for enough to get a candy bar and a coke. I started babysitting when I was 13 for the kids in my sub-division. When we turned 16 we were expected to get a part time job after school and work the summer full time if possible. I had to pay for gas for my car, repairs and I had to save up to even buy my car which was old and used. I was also expected to buy clothes, purses, makeup etc for myself unless it was Christmas, beginning of a new school year or my birthday. Parents carried their kids to their jobs until they were able to purchase a car. Kids were not given things right and left. The kid either worked for something or they were gifted it on special occassions. I never got anything just because I wanted it. Westerns were not just for boys. I lived for westerns. I loved John Wayne. I use to pray that someday I would find out that I was adopted and he was really my dad. My room was decorated with pictures of my boy crushes from Tiger Beat.
I was born in 1962 and remember all of these memories. We walked to school and knew we had "safe" houses on every block. I remember the first house to run to were Mr. & Mrs. Bean. The Jello fad didn't use flavors of today it was just simply flavorless gelatin that suspended whatever was added to it. The drive-in was my favorite memory, we had a stationwagon and my parents would take a car load of neighbor kids and lawn chairs every weekend. I remember intermission, the screen would show the food available and that the movie would continue in x amount of minutes, simpler times for sure.
Great review Jamel! I was born in 1955 so I was a kid in the Sixties and a teenager in the Seventies. All of your decade reactions are great! I was caught in between "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" We had the BEST neighborhood and many of us are still friends.

The hated him so much that they crucified him on the Cross but he rose again the third day Bible Matthew 22 1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
My grandmother was the first hoarder/recycler she saved the metal meal trays and every Sunday would spend all day cooking and filling trays for the weeks meals.
Born in 61. My family was relatively poor, but we kids didn't know it at the time. My brother had a Creepy Crawler set and, yes, we got burned, but it was great fun. Lived out on the boonies (still do) and wandered the woods, fields, and riverside all day, splashed in the streams, fished, picked berries and skated in their seasons. Swanson's TV dinners were a great treat, but my Aunt Jean's jello salad was not. People hitch-hiked back then. I remember my mother would frequently pick up sailors hitch hiking from Rt. 95 to Quonset, the local Naval base, and drive them as far as we were going, to help them reach their goal. Spankings were a thing- parents, teachers, even neighbors if they thought you were up to no good. Bare handed, a belt, an electrical cord, a ruler, and a cherry branch switch (my mum's favorite) were all employed against a bare bottom. Looking back, I can honestly say I wasn't a bad kid, and as I grew older I realized that a lot of folks have anger issues! Aside from politics, right now is my favorite time to live- DDT is no longer in use, Narragansett Bay has been (mostly) cleaned up, the Cuyahoga river isn't on fire, and southern New England, where I am, now has breeding populations of bear, beaver, and coyotes.
I was in the hospital a lot as a kid in the 80s. When they made a rule that you couldn't smoke in patients' rooms, my mother stopped coming to my room. If I wanted to see her I could grab my IV pole and go down to the smoking lounge.
The strap on the books is a belt. You don't remember Silly Putty?? Bless your heart! The stuff was cheap, didn't make a mess, could be used over and over. You could stretch it and roll it into a ball or roll it like a snake or, whatever. And as I mentioned, no mess. You could get a whuppin' from getting Play Doe in the rug, but no such problem with Silly Putty. Using it to copy the comics (backwards) was one of the funnest things. Go buy you some and play with it. Most stores have it in the kid's toys, not matter how small the store. Very interesting!!! I grew up in the 1960's, and Thank God I never had to deal with any Jello molds unless they were made with fruit. I could not deal with that nasty peas and carrots one. BTW, unflavored gelatin was available for whoever thought savory foods and vegetables were could in gelatin, or as they used to call it, aspic.
Born in 69. I recall some of these things in the mid to late 70s. Such as wind up watches. Walking to school by myself which lasted into the 80s. TV dinners, and black and white TVs without remote control. No such thing as cell phones. Only had one phone in the the house, and rarely able to use it for long talks with friends. It was a different time than it is today, for sure. It felt great for me to grow up in that time period, and I would say that I am happy that I did. I really can't see myself growing up in the world today.
And people picked up hitchhikers all the time. You just never thought about it. This video shows how much our society has gone down hill. It was just so carefree. We had seven kids in our family growing up on a farm and we walked one mile to our bus stop every day. Snow days were unheard of, and I was in three school bus accidents and one of them had a student fatality after our school bus was hit by a sliding out of control state snowplow truck.
Thank you for this wander down memory lane. Born 1960 in Australia. We didn’t have the Jello thing, in our house anyway. 60s and 70s feel like the best time but I’m probably biased. 😂
I got a Zorro watch for Christmas in the 50s, My sister and I would eat TV dinners when my parents went out on Saturday nights. I still like Swenson Chicken Dinners. Our first TV in @ 1955 was an old black and white set, But with a roof antenna we got Phille , Baltimore and Lancaster Pa stations.
Born in 61, cars didn't have seat belts and in the arms of the doors was ashtrays with little lids and gown ups could smoke anywhere, in the house, in the car, in the store, in the restaurants, in the doctors office, anywhere but church. My mother use to make that vegetable jello thing, the first time I saw it I thought it was weird but kind of awesome - until I tried it - it wasn't jello it was gelatine, no sugary goodness, just pure evil and I refused to eat it anytime or anywhere I saw it, oddly it was popular. From the what the hell were the thinking toy department was lawn darts and clackers The lawn darts we tried to throw them as high in the air as we could get them, a lot of fun going up but not so much fun as a 1ft dart came back and you were the target, you learn to move fast. The clackers were two glass balls at the opposite ends of a string, hold the sting in the middle and then try to smash them against each other, the faster the better - until you missed - my wrist use to go numb with the pain, they flew like a frisbee pretty good. Not sure if I had a fun childhood or I'm just a survivor.
My mother smoked all through her pregnancies. Not only that, but the doctor prescribed for her to drink a dark beer every day to help lactation, even though she didn’t drink beer.
I miss the drive ins. We'd sneak in friends under blankets in the back seat, bring our own food though we'd still buy popcorn from the concessions shack, and if it was a summer all night marathon, we'd be there from sundown to sunrise with more than a few times having the staff ask if we had homes to go to.
Oh man I LOVED TV dinners! Now I want to go and buy one. In the 1970's we'd play in the woods across from our house. Take our clothes off and run around the woods naked. My mom caught us once and asked us "why would you want to run around naked"? Lol. Moms...
I was born in '65, just missed being a boomer by 3 months. It was the best time to grow up, you couldn't keep me in the house. I couldn't stand a the rules now. I had a strap like that for my books It was leather and I got it from the mailman. He used to keep the mail separated with them
I loved growing up in the 60s and 70s. Best time to be a kid. I started working at 12, babysitting and also picking produce on a farm. You could do a paper route or bring a shovel or lawn mower around the neighbourhood and earn cash shoveling snow or mowing lawns. We had Kool Aid stands.We were little entrepreneurs. Collecting bottles from the ditches along the road and taking them back to get the deposit. Kids now are depressed and on meds all the time. We don't teach them to go higher. we cater to them and let them stay unskilled and just shoved in a corner to play, but we had a balance of work and play. Our parents didn't coddle us to death. I'm all for hugs and love and being kind and generous and loving, but kids also need to learn how to function in society so they can live happy lives later, and these kids are being short-changed in that department. I'm sad to see it.
I was born in 1950 a wonderful time to grow up in.I remember playing with silly putty . I got my first Barbie doll for my 9th birthday . During the summer we would play outside with our friends till it was time to come in for dinner. Some days I would walk to the library so I could read books all day. I still love to read. My Mom loved music so if she was home we would dance and listen to the radio most of the day. Times were very different then we could go all around town exploring, the local walk in theatre cost .10 cents a lot of times I would go there with my older sister my Mom or Dad would drop us off and come back later to pick us up. It was a great time . Happy New Year’s everyone stay safe .

1968 I was six years old and had to walk almost a half a mile to school. all you needed to do was find a couple soda/pop bottles and you could get a lot of candy for a dime. I still remember my dad bought a dart board and he grabbed me and my brother and told us how dangerous they were and stuck the point in our palms as proof. we never touched the darts after that.. We use to camp a lot and I remember my parents watch the war on TV and my mom would start crying thinking we would grow up and go to war and not come home.. It was my father that told me I had to clean my plate before leaving the table. I would have to wait till he left and my mom would take the plate away..a dollar went a long way back then.. we had a dinner triangle my mom would use to call us in for supper..McDonalds was a big thing back then and only went once or twice a month. passing time, marbles, building forts, riding bikes over ramps, climbing trees, playing army, or cowboys and indians, catching fire flies, flying kites..it's the 70s I would return to in a heartbeat.. Lets not forget duck and cover drills at school hiding under our desk against a nuke lol.. Times are different now and most of my family is gone..grandparents died in the 80s, my father in 2015 and my mother in 2022.
I grew in the 60's here in Canada and walked to school everyday from 6 years old onward. No matter what weather and it could go down to -40C in the winter. We would also walk on the tops of the piled up snow along the street . There were a lot less cars back then as well. I do remember meeting a lot of draft dodgers during the Vietnam war. A lot of them ended up marrying Canadian girls and stayed in Canada. Drive-ins were great fun.
A lot of this stuff I grew up with, but in the 80s-90s. I walked to school, with a paper lunch bag. BMX, G.I. Joe, BB Guns, sister had a kids oven (forget what it was called) and various other "toys" you can burn yourself with. Merry-go-rounds, metal slides, playground spring riders, monkey bars, ect. All these could mess you up man. I also went to the Drive In often, or watched from a friends house on his roof. We could jack the audio signal but the cars there were loud as well. Yep, I had Silly Putty too, but we also had Green Slim and we watched You Can't Do That On Television. I also ate TV Dinners, cooked in the oven, that my working mom left for us. I also ate that jello, but grandma didn't go that crazy with it. Mostly just fruits and other sweet stuff inside. Collected the cans and bottles. Did the paper route as well. Safe to say, some things stayed the same. At least for me and mine. No draft for war though. Phew.
The only time I didn't walk to school was the 18 months we lived in an outer suburb of our new small WV town. Everyone rode the bus. The high school kids walked out to the end of our sub-division, but the elementary kids waited in the driveway of a particular house where we could get out of the rain in their carport. If we were running late, we could wait in our own driveway, but the bus driver would give you grief over it. I did get a ride to high school with my parents because they drove right past the school every morning & if I took the bus I would be waiting alone at the end of the neighborhood with no covered shelter. I did take the bus home daily.
We also had 50 cent pieces, half dollars as well as quarters. I remember Before there was a McDonalds. A&W baby burgers, Mama burgers and Papa Burgers. A mug of root beer in a chilled mug for a nickel and a large mug for a dime and the car hops brought it to your car with tray that hung from your car window. Cute girls were the car hops and they got the tips.
Oh Jamel, you made me laugh with that " AAAAAH Oh LORD! Is that PEEEAS & CARROTS???? " Yeah, and it looks like it was topped w SPAM too. (Fortunately my Ma was into TV dinners and not celery flavored gelatin ) There's an Office episode where Jim makes Jello with Dwight's stapler inside. If I picked a decade, it'd be the 60's, the decade when I was a young teen to 20 years old. The 80s however would be a close second. Happy New Year!!
My older brothers grew up in the 50's and worked delivering newspapers from the time they could ride bikes. In 1965 they both bought identical brand new 1965 corvette stingrays 396 425 hp with the money saved delivering newspapers. No credit cards just stashing their earnings.

Grew up in the country and other than farmer work I would deliver a newspaper called the Grit. I was 11 and had about a 5 mile area that I rode my bicycle and delivered the Grit every week. My favorite thing was growing up in the 60s and 70s
Just a bit of perspective as to the prices of things back then...my first job at a store in 1969 , paid a whopping $1.65 an hour. I ran across a paystub once and had to laugh. I remember gas being 28 cents a gallon, and I could fill up my Pinto (that was around 1971) for under $5. Cigarettes were 35 cents a pack then, too, and people went nuts when the price increased over time to close to 50 cents! lol The 60s and 70s had the best mix of music from all genres on ALL the radio stations...we got pop, R&B, rock, soul, country. I think the only styles on their own stations might have been classical and jazz! FM took the whole thing to another level, with full cuts played from albums...loved that! ❤🎵🎶❤
I turned 69 last year and remember all of the things mentioned in this video. The one thing I am glad that was not a daily thing in my childhood was the presence of the internet and social media that is a regular part of today's society and the sometimes deadly effect it has on children and their lives.

I walked to school when I was 6 yrs old. I was always taught and scared to death in to not talking or going with strangers. A lot of us had to walk through an underpass under a highway. There was a square hole at the end it obviously had some big leaves in it, but at our ages we thought it was a “Green Hand”. It was so scary. We used to see it and screem and run. Yep, we were pretty independent. I usually walked with my little friend Michael. His young Father died of a heart attack and he didnt walk with me for a long time. My older brother was in the Vietnam War. We used to see people come to our classroom and talk to the teacher and a classmate would be taken out. It always scared me and probably all of us. We were just taught to be aware of our surroundings. I missed my brother and glad to say he made it! He lost his left eye, but he made it home!!! Different times. Fun times and very free times. I had wonderful parents.
Two young men from my town died in Vietnam. One was my sister's best friend in high school. I remember how she acted when the news hit,and felt really sorry for her. My uncle's stepson went over,and, did come back,uninjured,but,that changes a person. He won a Purple Heart, and, the paper had articles about some of the brave things he did. He called my grandfather, and asked him to make some homemade ice cream,the frozen custard type. Grandad said, " I would, but I don't have a freezer,anymore." He commented about that poor kid,in the jungle,thinking about Pappy's homemade ice cream. Jim called back in a half an hour,and, said that he had two hand cranked freezers,that he'd borrowed from friends. Grandad said, " Bring them over,and, I'll make you some ice cream." We called my other aunt,and,she and my two cousins came over,and, I got my friend from a few houses down,and,we just made a party of it.

In rural America you rode a bus to school. Couldn't wait to get older so you could drive and that was high school and yes, they were hand-me-down cars. And we got our bank accounts in grade school for allowance and if in 4-H, you had to pay for expenses and things like that so you had to keep track of it all. Childhood playground equipment was pretty much an obstacle course. We had to see everything in person like movies, bands, concerts, etc. I got to see the first Star Wars movie at a drive-in, wonderful experience being outside watching an outer space movie. Play Doh and so many things that aren't out now, even pet rocks and Barbie dolls. We all at meals together as well and didn't have a TV dinner in rural America. Grew your own food so we grew our own gardens. Still have a 1950s Betty Crocker cookbook, and no we didn't do jello. Westerns, Star Trek, Jetsons and so many shows on TV. Also the neighbors got together for parties like pitch and picnics and things so had a good time with friends. Minimum wage was $2 something if that much so yeah, and you worked for that money. My favorite era was the 1970s, I think everyone loves their teen/20s years.
I am a child of the 60s, a wonderful time to be a kid. You’d be roaming the neighborhood all day and parents never knew when you were, other than the tell-tale sign of everyone’s bike laying in someone yard. I had the Creepy Crawlers (still do and I play with it with my grandson) - yes you burned yourself a few times but it taught you a lesson. Matchbox cars, Hot Wheels, GI Joe, Jarts, the list goes on.
For sure, GI Joe with kung fu grip. Lol
So true, except I had Barbie. I also had a Western Flyer bike that beat all the other kids with their banana seat bikes. Fave times? Playing outside after dark without a care in the world. Best decade to grow up in!
I had a Creepy Crawler, too, and loved it! Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories!!
There were also so many sidewalk and street games; we had Punch Ball, Skelly (which was primarily played by boys as well as Stick Ball), Stoop ball, Hopscothch, Hide-n-Seek, Red light/Green light, Hit the Penny, Hoola Hoop contests, etc. There were games that only girls played such as Alphabet Chant where you went through the alphabet while bouncing a ball and each time you said a word with the letter of the alphabet you were up to you crossed you leg over the ball...the first girl to get through the entire alphabet without any mistakes won the game. There was a game called Russian Ten which was also played with a ball. Everyone's rubber ball of choice was a Spalding until the Pensy Pinky came along.
G.I. Joe vs Barbie... darts stuck better in G.I. Joe and when dropped from a second story window, G.I. Joe didn' break. @@christophers4162
Born in 1950, this was the peak of my youth. The 60's were great and aweful at the same time. 1955 to 63 were the best of times, but it all changed in November of 63. We went from innocence to shock in every part of our culture. I bore witness to cruelty and the rise of discontent as war and the struggle for racial equality were pitted against national values. As kids, both black and white, we bonded stronger than ever through music. Ike & Tina, Aretha, Sam & Dave, Marvin, Isley Bro, Wilson Picket, Otis, Little Stevie, The Supremes were the salve that soothed our worried souls. Yes, we had our white brothers and sister entertainers, but they never excited us as much as the soul music. I am grateful that I got to see them all live at the Coconut Groves in Miami. In the early 70's we got on the Love Train and stayed until it ran off the tracks. I'll be 74 in February, I truly miss those days. I long for peace and brotherhood in an America that is falling apart. You are the heart and soul of that, Jamal. You remind me of those times. Bless you.
I'm 72, and must've grown up a few counties north of you. What you remembered about bonding through the music (and dances) was so true! I remember in the mid-1960's going with a friend to see James Brown live at the old West Palm Beach Civic Auditorium. He was such a great showman! The place was packed that night. I looked around, and I think my friend and I were the only two white girls in the place! But no matter, a good time was had by all, rocking and swaying to "Poppa's Got A Brand New Bag", lol! Wouldn't trade those memories (and many more) for anything! 😊
1950 too - ahh the independence. the concerts, self-reliance. Lived in Oregon so not much exposure to the negative things until Viet Nam. The the world changed
I turned 16 in 1960. I walked just over a half mile to a Catholic school in the 50’s, but the day after school let out for the summer, I was at my Grandparents’ farm. The best of both worlds. On Chicago’s Southside, I owned a BB gun at the age of 10, while Gramps gave me a single shot 22, a real gun, at the age of 9. I can remember when White Castle hamburger was $0.07 and a pack of cigarettes was $0.21. I was very fond of penny candy. In fact, you could buy 3 pieces of Michigan cherries, a small round red confection just a bit larger than a marble, for one penny. Being a few years older than most boomers, I smoked my first joint in ‘68 while my 10 years younger brother lit up in ‘67. Just to present contrast, as I watch your channel and comment on my IPad.
I was born in 1948 so this video flooded me with memories. As a teen my dad always walked on the side next to the road when walking down the street. He would also pull my chair out at supper. So I expected that from my young boyfriends and yes of course the young men had the same manners. Aw it was GREAT!
The freedom we had as kids growing up in the 60s was unimaginable. Summers we spent all day swimming at the YMCA, riding bikes, playing kickball, baseball, basketball, kick the can, exploring a nearby pasture on foot, bike, & horseback, playing in the creek. And there was a week of Vacation Bible School. A neighbor invited us & provided transportation there & back home. Your neighbors were trustworthy & looked out for us. And when it was scorching hot we chilled indoors & played Monopoly, or played records, or watched The Big Show & reruns of Gilligan's Island. After the sun went down we would resume our outdoor activities.
And I also remember how glorious the sun felt walking to school in the spring...we would beg to walk to school because we always had mom or a grandparent drive us, but we wanted to rejoice with Nature after the cold subsided. And speaking of cold, when it snowed we played out in that all day too! Sledding, building snowmen, snow forts, having snowball fights, making snow cream & we'd watch the weather at night praying school would be closed the next day!
You asked what our favorite part of this video is. I was born in 1953 and watching you and hearing your comments is my favorite part. The memories are good but you make me smile and sometimes laugh. Thank you!!
Buying a roll of caps (which were the ammo-like things you put in the cap guns) was fun even without loading it into a cap gun. You could just unroll it, then take a rock and hit one of the spots on the roll, and it would make a tiny explosion.
Or hit the whole roll with a hammer and be deaf for a while.
@@ronbeck201Hey, I know you. You're that kid from down the street with the missing fingers, aren't you? :D I was too scared to hit more than one spot on the roll at a time.
Remember Greenie Stick-em caps? That went into the Derringer Belt buckle, the one where when you stuck your belly out the gun would swing out and Bang! scare the cat? Good times...
You could pop the caps with your thumbnail too and I remember the scorch marks that left, LOL. There were some metal rocket things that you tossed up in the air that would pop the cap when they landed.
@@phailynrowan7976That brings up a memory. I must have tried popping one my nail once before switching to rocks. :)
I was a teenager during the 60's and rules were followed and if not there were consequences. We did not want to lose our freedom to be with friends or go to movies or just hang out. It was more business oriented rather than today's generation that have put entertainment in the forefront. I do believe the 60's kids had it so much better.
There was nothing worse than being restricted to the yard and having to watch your friend ride off on there bikes.
I was born in the 60's and I love that time but if I had a choice of what era to be stuck in it would be the 1970's. I LOVE the 70's! I'm 60 years old and the changes are many and most not for the best. Our children today are out of control, self centered, they won't work, they don't listen and they show NO respect to anyone. I miss the music, disco, clothes and just the era in general. Thank you Jamel for doing this video. It was most enjoyable!

You know the Son of your President will come visit your house you will want to honor him
now the Son come but people don't recognize the Son of the President he had right to enforce laws but he liked more to serve people
The story about the Son and the President already happened the Son is Jesus Christ and the President is God the Father
So Jesus was on Earth but his people (the Jews) didn't liked him and even mocked and hurt and beat him ! The hated him so much that they crucified him on the Cross
but he rose again the third day

1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
I'm 71 and grew up in West Palm Beach, FL. In the 60's my dad would let me take his shotgun and go dove or quail hunting by myself. I walked about half a mile from the house along the highway with the gun over my shoulder and nobody thought anything about it. Could you imagine what would happen today if someone saw something like that?

I remember taking the public bus to go hunting with my rifle. Those were the days....
Born in 1958, I remember all of this. Walking to school with friends was so much fun! My favorite Swanson TV Dinner was the Fried Chicken meal. I watched Bonanza every Sunday night. Going to the drive-in movie theater with our parents felt like a special treat. I also played with Silly Putty. Now, there were some events going on at the time that weren't so pleasant, but I cherish the joyful ones. Good one, Jamel!

I'm 62 born in 1961 and I couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful, active, social childhood I had. A teen in the 70's was THE BEST! The 80's in my 20's all great... I guess everyone thinks their era was the best, but I wouldn't change a thing about being alive in the 60's and 70's.... and yes Jamal, DISCO SUCKS! LOL!!!! give me Hendrix, Zepplin, Bowie etc., all day long ... but we still went to the disco's for the social aspect, however the concerts back then were unreal!!!! five dollars and they'd play for 3 hours!!!!!!

I wish we could go back to these times. The family dynamic back then was priceless. But if I had to choose a decade for music I would definitely choose the 70’s, hands down.
I’m 61 years old. I remember McDonald’s special was 10 hamburgers for a dollar and cheeseburgers were 10 for $2. Also had gas 19 cents a gallon. In the 60’s I used one of my brothers army backpacks for my books. I did walk a mile to school in the ghettos of Detroit.

I did most of this stuff, born in 1958.... thanks for the trip through the past... :p
im dying here! bookstraps go wayyyyy back. Tom Saywer and Huckleberry Finn used them according to Mark Twain
I was born in 1960 so, I grew up with all this, it was a different world, much more friendly and nicer in many ways. Not everyone had a home telephone so, if you wanted to see a friend you'd have to walk to their house to see if they were in, if they weren't, you'd ask if their parents knew where they were, then you would walk there to find them, if you did you'd then play outside, there were very few overweight kids (or adults for that matter) then, there wasn't as many cars around either particularly during work hours. I'd live in the '70s for sure, the music was great, life wasn't too commercial yet and most people had good manners.

A friend and I were discussing the old Jell-O flavors the other day. They had at least 4 flavors that were marketed as Jell-O for Salads. They were Mixed Vegetable, Celery, Seasoned Tomato, and Italian Salad. My mom utilized them in several recipes that weren’t bad. I think they were phased out in the early 1970s, if I’m not mistaken.
I remember most of this stuff. I was a kid in the 60s and a teenager in the 70s. When I was nine I attended a school that was 15 miles from home, and would ride there on two commuter trains each way with my sister. Hard to imagine today.
me too . peace and love from Canada ❤

I remember boys walking on the “outside “ next to the road, so if a car came up onto the sidewalk they would get it and the girl would be ok, so many sweet things boys did to make us feel better back then. And things we did to make them feel special, I miss those days, going on dates, real dates, not finding a place to have sex. I don’t know anyone who goes on dates anymore.
I'm with you. My ideal time period would be '76 to '86. Great times and tunes!

Hun, I'm 76 and in the 50's I was a kid. in the 60's i was a teen, and I remember it all. Your question what is my fave era, I would say 50's & 60's by far. I liked the 70's but things started going south in the 90's and just kept getting worse. IMO. Thanks for the vid.
Sure you walked to school, but back then you knew everyone in your neighborhood. You knew and were welcomed in every house on your block, and on just about every block you knew a few of the families who lived there, people looked out for one another. Most houses had stay at home moms so you had surrogate moms on every block. These days people are lucky to know the next door neighbor.
There were Blue Star homes,too,when more mothers were at home. They were safe houses if a child was being followed, or needed help.
Mom was alarmed when my brother said he stopped at a blue star home on the way home.
He just needed to use the bathroom.
i'd actually walk home from jr high, 2 miles, high school, 5 miles, rain, sweltering heat, bitter cold, deep snow...never occurred to me to want it any easier...
I grew up then, but never heard of this. Was it regional?@@melissagerber7231
1960 here… we moved from Virginia to southern Arizona by the time I was seven or eight. We didn’t know any different when I came to doing chores. my oldest sister did the heavy duty stuff, middle sister, and myself clean the rest.
My parents had a crew three daughters before my little brother showed up. That house was never really dirty, except for maybe cleaning up wrapping paper from the Christmas piles we got.
We lived in a really large subdivision with a pool, so we joined the swim team. There was no mom or dad needs to pick you up. You either took the sidewalk or if it wasn’t a busy golf day run across the course fast as you could. Mom worked in a bank, and from what she taught me at 63 years old I can honestly say I have never bounced a check. Don’t spend what you don’t have!
High school years were either babysitting for money, or actually finding a job that paid more.
I’ll tell you what the one thing that my mom taught me was not too overspend. So basically what I was doing while babysitting was if I wanted to buy something save up for it but also at the same time take half the money I did make and put it in the bank

Come to the wedding.” ’ 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Thing Maker was one of my favourite toys as a kid in the 60s. My mother insisted on doing the baking part, though. We had a flower set and another set that might have been the Creepy Crawler one or some sort of monster one.
John 14:6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

You know the Son of your President will come visit your house you will want to honor him

So Jesus was on Earth but his people (the Jews) didn't liked him and even mocked and hurt and beat him ! The hated him so much that they crucified him on the Cross

I was born in 1949 and growing up with my childhood in the’50’s and playing on an acre lot in the SFV in So Cal… in 61 we moved to the north west SFV. We had orange groves and undeveloped rolling hills to ride our bikes, later dirt motorcycles… it was the best.
I was warned not to even speak to any strangers, no matter what they said. And if someone offered you candy…. Run to a person of authority as fast as possible! Wonderful.
No backpacks until the 70’s and they were called book-bags, not backpacks

Hey Jamel. Happy New Year! I'm 73 now and I was born in 1950 so I remember all of the things on this video. My grandmother was born in 1896 and she taught us that when a man and woman were walking together, the man should always walk on the street side. She said this came from the days of the horse and carriage when you would sometimes get splashed with mud from the passing horse-driven vehicle. The man would take the brunt of the splash and protect the woman from harm. I'm sure this sounds old-fashioned and sexist now, but at the time this was considered correct. We walked to school and never had a problem with it. We had a small black and white TV and didn't mind. We would listen to AM music stations on our little table radio and suffer through all the commercials and DJ chatter without complaint. We were not allowed to answer the telephone during dinner because that was considered family time. No voice mail, no call waiting, no caller ID. we were told that if the call was important, they would call back. I enjoyed this video and your reaction. Keep up the great work. Peace.

I was born in 58, so I grew up in the 60s, and 70s, black and white TV, my dad had a remote me, we only had 3 channels, drive in on the weekend, steel slides at school, we sat at our desk's and listened to the teacher, back talk got you the paddle, and usually got it again at home, we learned respect for police, firemen, teachers, ate home cooked meals, fast food was a treat and only on rare occasions.
Yep, born same year and same memories, although we didn't have a remote, we had to get up to change the channel. And walked to school, took no more than 10 to 15 minutes. And collecting pop bottles to get money for candy. Finding a nickel or dime was great but finding a quarter: woo hoo! I'm rich!
I LOVE that you saw what I saw with the couple walking down the street!
I am 61 and remember a lot of this, I sent this to both of my children to give them a glimpse of my childhood.
THE 60S WERE GREAT! KIDS TODAY DON'T KNOW WHAT FUN IS. I HAVE TO TELL MY GRAND KIDS STORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD AND THEY CAN'T GET ENOUGH. SINCE I GREW UP IN THE COUNTRY I HAVE A MILLION OF THEM. GOD BLESS YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Walking to school was what you did. Cheap candy was awesome. Drive ins were a blast. Hee hee! The TV Dinner. Some were actually good. Loved Bonanza! This was my childhood!
I'm a 60's kid. We never locked our doors when we went to bed or when we went out. I had many toys that would be shunned today for being dangerous but you learned how to work with them without ever getting hurt. I remember being 2 yrs old and walking over to a friends house that was a couple blocks away without adult supervision. You knew where you friends were all at by all the bikes laying out front of someone's house. I'm really not sure which era I would want to go back to permanently, the 60's or the 70's. The 60's were great for my preteen years and the 70's were great for my teen years...hard choice to make

We were the first on the block to have a color TV. Our neighbors would come to our house to watch TV. Fun days!
was born in 1960 and as others have commented I lived it and remember it all , even the Jello with the peas and stuff - and yes it was as bad as you are thinking ! who has hidden in the trunk just to get into the drive in for free ?
I was born 85....and i can tell you. These kids wouldnt even believe how awesome it was being young kids in the 90s. Anytime before social media will be the golden era. The kids will say we are out of touch. But we lived w no internet, early internet, and social media. Nothing beats the simpler times before this mess. So much fun.
77 my highschool never had Internet. Didn't have a cell phone until I was in my late 20's. Just calls. The 80's and 90's were Amazing. 2000+ the decline
41 years old, born in 1982. Enjoying these look back videos.
We had rubber book straps that stretched around your pile of school books and was held closed with two clips. Silly Putty was ubiquitous and besides using it on comic strips, it also bounced when rolled into a ball shape.
I was born in 51 so I was old enough to remember the 60’s. Loved days when we had TV dinners it was a treat for us. My favorite was the fried chicken. Plus in the 60’s I saw The Beatles twice. Glad I was old enough to go to my first concert.
The strap holding the books together for the little boys was a belt!! It worked beautifully for the most part!!!
A trip down memory lane for me. No seatbelts, playing outside after dark--FREEDOM! Hours outside, Saturday morning cartoons, riding in the back of a pickup truck. Life was awesome
Yep. In the back bench seat when pops went over a steep hill you were at Space Camp. For half a second.
The jellied dinner was made out of clear gelatin. It was called aspic or meat jelly and it was a savory gelatin made with a meat stock or broth. And yes they were gross.😁
My mother-in-law made aspic with pork hocks and added a chicken cube. When enjoyed with a squeeze of fresh lemon, it wasn't bad.
@@gaildevaney6074 My mom usually made ham or beef flavors. They tasted great and as a kid I was always looking forward to see what new thing she would put in it. She made them with love and I’m sure you would agree anything made with love tastes great. I have fond memories of my mom’s meals. I don’t know how she did it with such little money, but I always enjoyed our family meals made with her love. I only had a little problem with the texture. One of my first memories was when we received a Christmas canned ham from our church and I ate some of it along with the jelly. It must have been bad, my mother usually cooked it first but I got to it first. I was sick for a long long time. So, to this day I have a hard time eating anything jellied sweet or savory. I find the texture to be a little gross. But her gelatin dinners always tasted great and made me feel loved.
I was born in 1963...60 already,how time flies! Strangely enough,I act 20,look 40,am 60 and feel 80...lol
I was glad to hear you specifically talk about the guy walking on the street side to protect the lady. Like a lot of things, many people today don't give it a thought. To me, it shows good manners and good upbringing.
I remember being sent to the corner store for a loaf of bread(1957)...that loaf cost 15 cents at that time!
I was born in 1960, and to address younger kids walking to school alone, first of all, adults would have never, ever, worn anything but hard shoes, like loafers, tie dress shoes or boots. Grown me typically wore button up shirts and dress pants, with many wearing a full suit and tie as normal everyday attire. We all had a very good sense of awareness and if an oddball creepy was within two blocks, we noticed. Now go through all of these nostalgia videos again and notice that there were rarely, if any, people with weight issues and every last one of us could scramble, run, jump, climb and and crawl over or under anything in a split second. Now the creepies blend right into the crowd because there's just no telling the good guys from the bad guys and, to compound the problem, the physical education programs in public school is just horrible and the garbage they serve the little guys for lunch should be illegal. There was also very little chance of being "bullied" because we all stood our ground and there was no honorable teacher that would punish two guys for slugging it out. They'd let you fight for a few minutes, break it up and, send you on your way, no detention, no turning it into a police issue, no councilors, no CPS or reprimand whatsoever. So, today? Its the politicians that have turned our children into defenseless prey by failing to instill physical discipline, keeping fit and eating healthy. Then there's the FDA, the biggest enemy of school children, that will allow anything you can imagine to be added to our food, as long as it saves or makes a buck. But I digress... in the 60's there's just no way a creepy was ever going to catch a kid. We were like cats and no grown ass man in hard shoes was going to have any chance. A grown man in sneakers? Everybody for miles would have noticed and run him out of the neighborhood.

I was in 6th grade in 1968. I can’t agree that school lunches were better then. I found worms on several occasions in my food. Needless to say, I started bringing a sack lunch.
I grew up in the 60's. It was a great time to be a kid.
I grew up in the 60’s !! The tv dinners were when my Dad went hunting or fishing! Lol, always walked to school! Lol my first job at 14, I made $1.50 an hour!! Lol
68 And remember it all! Thanks for showing this!
Almost 70 born in 54. My husband always walks between me and the street and still opens doors for me. He also always sits in a restaurant facing the door so he can see if anything is a cause of concern.
One of our neighborhood fathers worked at a zoo on weekends, another worked security at the Atlanta stadium as an off duty cop during baseball games. Another dad worked at an amusement park. We got to go to the baseball games, zoo and amusement park free and we all piled into the bed of a pickup truck to get there. We stayed outside until the street lights came on cause it was understood you went home when the street lights came on. We piled into cars and stuffed people into trunks of cars to go to the drive-in. Those were the days.
We walked to school and were never afraid. Most of the mothers were stay at home moms and all of them kept their eyes open watching all kids walking to and from school. Back then you knew your neighbors and the people along your route you were like a village watching out for each other. People that didn't even have kids watched out for all the kids.
We walked to the store everyday after school. We would collect soda bottles along the way to cash in for enough to get a candy bar and a coke.
I started babysitting when I was 13 for the kids in my sub-division. When we turned 16 we were expected to get a part time job after school and work the summer full time if possible. I had to pay for gas for my car, repairs and I had to save up to even buy my car which was old and used. I was also expected to buy clothes, purses, makeup etc for myself unless it was Christmas, beginning of a new school year or my birthday. Parents carried their kids to their jobs until they were able to purchase a car. Kids were not given things right and left. The kid either worked for something or they were gifted it on special occassions. I never got anything just because I wanted it.
Westerns were not just for boys. I lived for westerns. I loved John Wayne. I use to pray that someday I would find out that I was adopted and he was really my dad. My room was decorated with pictures of my boy crushes from Tiger Beat.
I was born in 1962 and remember all of these memories. We walked to school and knew we had "safe" houses on every block. I remember the first house to run to were Mr. & Mrs. Bean. The Jello fad didn't use flavors of today it was just simply flavorless gelatin that suspended whatever was added to it. The drive-in was my favorite memory, we had a stationwagon and my parents would take a car load of neighbor kids and lawn chairs every weekend. I remember intermission, the screen would show the food available and that the movie would continue in x amount of minutes, simpler times for sure.
Great review Jamel! I was born in 1955 so I was a kid in the Sixties and a teenager in the Seventies. All of your decade reactions are great! I was caught in between "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" We had the BEST neighborhood and many of us are still friends.

John3:16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Don't think Jesus was on Earth to condemn us but to save us imagine
You know the Son of your President will come visit your house you will want to honor him
now the Son come but people don't recognize the Son of the President he had right to enforce laws but he liked more to serve people
The story about the Son and the President already happened the Son is Jesus Christ and the President is God the Father
So Jesus was on Earth but his people (the Jews) didn't liked him and even mocked and hurt and beat him ! The hated him so much that they crucified him on the Cross
but he rose again the third day
Bible Matthew 22
1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
My grandmother was the first hoarder/recycler she saved the metal meal trays and every Sunday would spend all day cooking and filling trays for the weeks meals.
Born in 61. My family was relatively poor, but we kids didn't know it at the time. My brother had a Creepy Crawler set and, yes, we got burned, but it was great fun. Lived out on the boonies (still do) and wandered the woods, fields, and riverside all day, splashed in the streams, fished, picked berries and skated in their seasons. Swanson's TV dinners were a great treat, but my Aunt Jean's jello salad was not.
People hitch-hiked back then. I remember my mother would frequently pick up sailors hitch hiking from Rt. 95 to Quonset, the local Naval base, and drive them as far as we were going, to help them reach their goal.
Spankings were a thing- parents, teachers, even neighbors if they thought you were up to no good. Bare handed, a belt, an electrical cord, a ruler, and a cherry branch switch (my mum's favorite) were all employed against a bare bottom. Looking back, I can honestly say I wasn't a bad kid, and as I grew older I realized that a lot of folks have anger issues!
Aside from politics, right now is my favorite time to live- DDT is no longer in use, Narragansett Bay has been (mostly) cleaned up, the Cuyahoga river isn't on fire, and southern New England, where I am, now has breeding populations of bear, beaver, and coyotes.
My daughter was born in '81, the smoking room was at the end of the hallway on the maternity ward. And most mothers smoked, it was pretty crowded.
I was in the hospital a lot as a kid in the 80s. When they made a rule that you couldn't smoke in patients' rooms, my mother stopped coming to my room. If I wanted to see her I could grab my IV pole and go down to the smoking lounge.
The strap on the books is a belt.
You don't remember Silly Putty?? Bless your heart! The stuff was cheap, didn't make a mess, could be used over and over. You could stretch it and roll it into a ball or roll it like a snake or, whatever. And as I mentioned, no mess. You could get a whuppin' from getting Play Doe in the rug, but no such problem with Silly Putty. Using it to copy the comics (backwards) was one of the funnest things. Go buy you some and play with it. Most stores have it in the kid's toys, not matter how small the store.
Very interesting!!! I grew up in the 1960's, and Thank God I never had to deal with any Jello molds unless they were made with fruit. I could not deal with that nasty peas and carrots one. BTW, unflavored gelatin was available for whoever thought savory foods and vegetables were could in gelatin, or as they used to call it, aspic.
Born in 69. I recall some of these things in the mid to late 70s. Such as wind up watches. Walking to school by myself which lasted into the 80s. TV dinners, and black and white TVs without remote control. No such thing as cell phones. Only had one phone in the the house, and rarely able to use it for long talks with friends. It was a different time than it is today, for sure.
It felt great for me to grow up in that time period, and I would say that I am happy that I did. I really can't see myself growing up in the world today.
And people picked up hitchhikers all the time. You just never thought about it. This video shows how much our society has gone down hill. It was just so carefree. We had seven kids in our family growing up on a farm and we walked one mile to our bus stop every day. Snow days were unheard of, and I was in three school bus accidents and one of them had a student fatality after our school bus was hit by a sliding out of control state snowplow truck.
Thank you for this wander down memory lane. Born 1960 in Australia. We didn’t have the Jello thing, in our house anyway. 60s and 70s feel like the best time but I’m probably biased. 😂
I got a Zorro watch for Christmas in the 50s, My sister and I would eat TV dinners when my parents went out on Saturday nights. I still like Swenson Chicken Dinners. Our first TV in @ 1955 was an old black and white set, But with a roof antenna we got Phille , Baltimore and Lancaster Pa stations.
“All you youngsters out there, pay attention to this.” I love it! This is the way it was when I was a kid in the 60’s
Born in 61, cars didn't have seat belts and in the arms of the doors was ashtrays with little lids and gown ups could smoke anywhere, in the house, in the car, in the store, in the restaurants, in the doctors office, anywhere but church.
My mother use to make that vegetable jello thing, the first time I saw it I thought it was weird but kind of awesome - until I tried it - it wasn't jello it was gelatine, no sugary goodness, just pure evil and I refused to eat it anytime or anywhere I saw it, oddly it was popular.
From the what the hell were the thinking toy department was lawn darts and clackers
The lawn darts we tried to throw them as high in the air as we could get them, a lot of fun going up but not so much fun as a 1ft dart came back and you were the target, you learn to move fast.
The clackers were two glass balls at the opposite ends of a string, hold the sting in the middle and then try to smash them against each other, the faster the better - until you missed - my wrist use to go numb with the pain, they flew like a frisbee pretty good.
Not sure if I had a fun childhood or I'm just a survivor.
My mother smoked all through her pregnancies. Not only that, but the doctor prescribed for her to drink a dark beer every day to help lactation, even though she didn’t drink beer.
I miss the drive ins. We'd sneak in friends under blankets in the back seat, bring our own food though we'd still buy popcorn from the concessions shack, and if it was a summer all night marathon, we'd be there from sundown to sunrise with more than a few times having the staff ask if we had homes to go to.
Thanks for the video, J ... I had a smile on my face the whole time. Hope you have a good New Year.
Jamel, hubby and I still hold hands like that picture. ♥
Oh man I LOVED TV dinners! Now I want to go and buy one. In the 1970's we'd play in the woods across from our house. Take our clothes off and run around the woods naked. My mom caught us once and asked us "why would you want to run around naked"? Lol. Moms...
We ran wild till the street lights came on. Freedom!
I was born in '65, just missed being a boomer by 3 months. It was the best time to grow up, you couldn't keep me in the house. I couldn't stand a the rules now. I had a strap like that for my books It was leather and I got it from the mailman. He used to keep the mail separated with them
I loved growing up in the 60s and 70s. Best time to be a kid. I started working at 12, babysitting and also picking produce on a farm. You could do a paper route or bring a shovel or lawn mower around the neighbourhood and earn cash shoveling snow or mowing lawns. We had Kool Aid stands.We were little entrepreneurs. Collecting bottles from the ditches along the road and taking them back to get the deposit.
Kids now are depressed and on meds all the time. We don't teach them to go higher. we cater to them and let them stay unskilled and just shoved in a corner to play, but we had a balance of work and play. Our parents didn't coddle us to death. I'm all for hugs and love and being kind and generous and loving, but kids also need to learn how to function in society so they can live happy lives later, and these kids are being short-changed in that department. I'm sad to see it.
I grew up in the 80s and still experienced a lot of this. And walking all around town from age 10 up, a few windup watches, etc.
I was born in 1950 a wonderful time to grow up in.I remember playing with silly putty . I got my first Barbie doll for my 9th birthday . During the summer we would play outside with our friends till it was time to come in for dinner. Some days I would walk to the library so I could read books all day. I still love to read. My Mom loved music so if she was home we would dance and listen to the radio most of the day. Times were very different then we could go all around town exploring, the local walk in theatre cost .10 cents a lot of times I would go there with my older sister my Mom or Dad would drop us off and come back later to pick us up. It was a great time . Happy New Year’s everyone stay safe .

1968 I was six years old and had to walk almost a half a mile to school. all you needed to do was find a couple soda/pop bottles and you could get a lot of candy for a dime. I still remember my dad bought a dart board and he grabbed me and my brother and told us how dangerous they were and stuck the point in our palms as proof. we never touched the darts after that..
We use to camp a lot and I remember my parents watch the war on TV and my mom would start crying thinking we would grow up and go to war and not come home..
It was my father that told me I had to clean my plate before leaving the table. I would have to wait till he left and my mom would take the plate away..a dollar went a long way back then..
we had a dinner triangle my mom would use to call us in for supper..McDonalds was a big thing back then and only went once or twice a month.
passing time, marbles, building forts, riding bikes over ramps, climbing trees, playing army, or cowboys and indians, catching fire flies, flying kites..it's the 70s I would return to in a heartbeat..
Lets not forget duck and cover drills at school hiding under our desk against a nuke lol..
Times are different now and most of my family is gone..grandparents died in the 80s, my father in 2015 and my mother in 2022.
Loving the rose coloured spectacles..😂
I grew in the 60's here in Canada and walked to school everyday from 6 years old onward. No matter what weather and it could go down to -40C in the winter. We would also walk on the tops of the piled up snow along the street . There were a lot less cars back then as well.
I do remember meeting a lot of draft dodgers during the Vietnam war. A lot of them ended up marrying Canadian girls and stayed in Canada.
Drive-ins were great fun.
You make me laugh Jamel! You are a good man.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and life was great! I walked a couple of streets away to meet friends and I was 3.
A lot of this stuff I grew up with, but in the 80s-90s. I walked to school, with a paper lunch bag. BMX, G.I. Joe, BB Guns, sister had a kids oven (forget what it was called) and various other "toys" you can burn yourself with. Merry-go-rounds, metal slides, playground spring riders, monkey bars, ect. All these could mess you up man. I also went to the Drive In often, or watched from a friends house on his roof. We could jack the audio signal but the cars there were loud as well. Yep, I had Silly Putty too, but we also had Green Slim and we watched You Can't Do That On Television. I also ate TV Dinners, cooked in the oven, that my working mom left for us. I also ate that jello, but grandma didn't go that crazy with it. Mostly just fruits and other sweet stuff inside. Collected the cans and bottles. Did the paper route as well.
Safe to say, some things stayed the same. At least for me and mine.
No draft for war though. Phew.
The only time I didn't walk to school was the 18 months we lived in an outer suburb of our new small WV town. Everyone rode the bus. The high school kids walked out to the end of our sub-division, but the elementary kids waited in the driveway of a particular house where we could get out of the rain in their carport. If we were running late, we could wait in our own driveway, but the bus driver would give you grief over it. I did get a ride to high school with my parents because they drove right past the school every morning & if I took the bus I would be waiting alone at the end of the neighborhood with no covered shelter. I did take the bus home daily.
We also had 50 cent pieces, half dollars as well as quarters. I remember Before there was a McDonalds. A&W baby burgers, Mama burgers and Papa Burgers. A mug of root beer in a chilled mug for a nickel and a large mug for a dime and the car hops brought it to your car with tray that hung from your car window. Cute girls were the car hops and they got the tips.
Man I've been binge watching these videos all day I wish I still lived in those days
I went from a 12 year old shy kid through Class Clown to survive a 13 months in a Jungle some where far away - all in this decade
Born in 1957 so I grew up then and brings back fond memories from my childhood.
Oh Jamel, you made me laugh with that " AAAAAH Oh LORD! Is that PEEEAS & CARROTS???? " Yeah, and it looks like it was topped w SPAM too. (Fortunately my Ma was into TV dinners and not celery flavored gelatin ) There's an Office episode where Jim makes Jello with Dwight's stapler inside. If I picked a decade, it'd be the 60's, the decade when I was a young teen to 20 years old. The 80s however would be a close second. Happy New Year!!
My older brothers grew up in the 50's and worked delivering newspapers from the time they could ride bikes. In 1965 they both bought identical brand new 1965 corvette stingrays 396 425 hp with the money saved delivering newspapers. No credit cards just stashing their earnings.
I grew up in the fifties and it was a different world. It was wonderful, we weren't afraid of car jackings or drive by shootings.

My favorite place to eat out was A&W, where you ate in the car, and girls delivered the food on roller skates.
I was born in 73 so I have a lil bit of 70's and 80's that I grew up in and it was great!!✌🐢
Grew up in the country and other than farmer work I would deliver a newspaper called the Grit. I was 11 and had about a 5 mile area that I rode my bicycle and delivered the Grit every week. My favorite thing was growing up in the 60s and 70s
That video is right on! Thanks Jamel! Happy New Year!
I also still have a few creepy crawler.
That strap to carry books is their belt. Take me back to the 80's kickin it at the mall all day then watching MTV and playing Atari till dawn.
Just a bit of perspective as to the prices of things back then...my first job at a store in 1969 , paid a whopping $1.65 an hour. I ran across a paystub once and had to laugh. I remember gas being 28 cents a gallon, and I could fill up my Pinto (that was around 1971) for under $5. Cigarettes were 35 cents a pack then, too, and people went nuts when the price increased over time to close to 50 cents! lol
The 60s and 70s had the best mix of music from all genres on ALL the radio stations...we got pop, R&B, rock, soul, country. I think the only styles on their own stations might have been classical and jazz! FM took the whole thing to another level, with full cuts played from albums...loved that! ❤🎵🎶❤
I liked the part about getting a treat after school. We didn’t do that. We only lived two blocks from school. No stores on the way.
Man I love the genuine original pictures from that time.
I turned 69 last year and remember all of the things mentioned in this video. The one thing I am glad that was not a daily thing in my childhood was the presence of the internet and social media that is a regular part of today's society and the sometimes deadly effect it has on children and their lives.

I walked to school when I was 6 yrs old. I was always taught and scared to death in to not talking or going with strangers. A lot of us had to walk through an underpass under a highway. There was a square hole at the end it obviously had some big leaves in it, but at our ages we thought it was a “Green Hand”. It was so scary. We used to see it and screem and run. Yep, we were pretty independent. I usually walked with my little friend Michael. His young Father died of a heart attack and he didnt walk with me for a long time. My older brother was in the Vietnam War. We used to see people come to our classroom and talk to the teacher and a classmate would be taken out. It always scared me and probably all of us. We were just taught to be aware of our surroundings. I missed my brother and glad to say he made it! He lost his left eye, but he made it home!!! Different times. Fun times and very free times. I had wonderful parents.
Two young men from my town died in Vietnam. One was my sister's best friend in high school. I remember how she acted when the news hit,and felt really sorry for her.
My uncle's stepson went over,and, did come back,uninjured,but,that changes a person.
He won a Purple Heart, and, the paper had articles about some of the brave things he did.
He called my grandfather, and asked him to make some homemade ice cream,the frozen custard type.
Grandad said, " I would, but I don't have a freezer,anymore."
He commented about that poor kid,in the jungle,thinking about Pappy's homemade ice cream.
Jim called back in a half an hour,and, said that he had two hand cranked freezers,that he'd borrowed from friends.
Grandad said, " Bring them over,and, I'll make you some ice cream."
We called my other aunt,and,she and my two cousins came over,and, I got my friend from a few houses down,and,we just made a party of it.

I was born in ‘72 but I dig it. Fun to see the prices. I’d want to go to the ‘70’s or ‘60’s
In rural America you rode a bus to school. Couldn't wait to get older so you could drive and that was high school and yes, they were hand-me-down cars. And we got our bank accounts in grade school for allowance and if in 4-H, you had to pay for expenses and things like that so you had to keep track of it all. Childhood playground equipment was pretty much an obstacle course. We had to see everything in person like movies, bands, concerts, etc. I got to see the first Star Wars movie at a drive-in, wonderful experience being outside watching an outer space movie. Play Doh and so many things that aren't out now, even pet rocks and Barbie dolls. We all at meals together as well and didn't have a TV dinner in rural America. Grew your own food so we grew our own gardens. Still have a 1950s Betty Crocker cookbook, and no we didn't do jello. Westerns, Star Trek, Jetsons and so many shows on TV. Also the neighbors got together for parties like pitch and picnics and things so had a good time with friends. Minimum wage was $2 something if that much so yeah, and you worked for that money. My favorite era was the 1970s, I think everyone loves their teen/20s years.
