I was asking about TRH in general, not only in regard this thread. Sorry I derailed the thread. Forget I asked.

"We spread our crinolines to dry in circles on the lawn."
WTF is that? They were a stiff petticoat that girls wore under their Poodle skirts to make them stand out. When we boys were that age, it didn't take much to make "them" stand out.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

There were no golden arches I remember the 1st McD's in Boise. We went to get a .19 hamburger that tasted like cardboard. The sign said 100,000 sold. My 1st real job came after college in '70. I got a salary of $7500/yr which wasn't bad then. I bought a brand new Chevy Nova in '71 for $2200 and rented a 2 bedroom duplex for $100.

I remember almost every detail of it. Particularly, I remember the driver taking us past a McDonalds under construction, with the golden arches newly put in place. He told us all to look at it, and to remember that we saw the first one going up on Long Island, and that we would soon see them all over the place.

Thanks for posting that. Pretty cute.
Yeah, at 68, I look back fondly at the 50's.
Gotta go along with TRH on this. Government has made a stinking hash of this.

I'm 34. My mom didn't work. We always had plenty of money, and our neighborhoods were safe.
And quite frankly, nothing has changed for my kids.

Travis Well, everything is just fine and dandy, then.

Travis Well, everything is just find and dandy, then. I'm not implying that. I'm just saying my childhood was great. Partly because my parents didn't/don't spend money like [bleep] morons. You're not supposed to be in your late 20's or early 30's with a $300,000 home, boat, and 2012 SUV. That is why all these moms work. Not because dad doesn't make enough. Travis

I happened to See "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon " on tv last night.It was amde in 1949.I was 6 then and remember my father taking us 4 kids and mom to one of the two movie theaters into town to see it. I think kids cost 10 cents and adults a quarter.Even at that, it was a push for my dad to come up with that money.

I saw the original showing of "The Ten Commandments" when Heston really was that age.

In 4th grade (I was born in 1954) I would wear a hunting knife and camp hacket on a belt sheath. No one thought much of it. Could go fishing and swimming in the lake and parents were glad we were occupied.

I remember the 1956 Ford Crown Victoria my aunt and uncle bought. It was the first new car I ever rode in. That year Ford advertised the entire line with a safety campaign and their Lifeguard design. Aunties' Ford had the optional safety package including a padded dash and seat belts. WOW, I got to ride in the front and wear the seat belt! Ford's sales dropped because the safety campaign led people to believe there was something wrong with a car that needed all that stuff. But to an 11 year old, it was as good as it gets.
That car was one of the few I remember that had a working radio, as my late father's last three cars were a 1936 Pontiac, replaced by a 1949 Kaiser, and finally a 1950 Chevrolet. None of radios worked, if they even had a radio. Unfortunately, my aunt turned the radio off thinking my mother and I wanted to hear her prattle rather than Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes. Family, gotta love them anyway.
