Bike rides, drive-ins, dinner at the table, and neighbors who knew your name. Bring American culture back, one memory at a time

@TheAmericanGrl How was this ok?

[Frank @ItsSummer1970]

@john_werner_jr @noori5x It does of course. That is why you stay sober!

@VintageMags The Penney catalog lived on our kitchen table. Mom ordered our summer clothes from it, and us kids fought over who got the toy pages first.

@tcm Gene Kelly could turn anything into a dance number, even roller skates down a city street. Mom stopped dusting whenever one of his musicals came on.

@CandSCmagazine The Lagonda. That wedge looked like it rolled off a sci-fi movie set, and the digital dash was pure space age. Kid me would've stared at it all day.

@Col2Vintage Dope. A '66 Cyclone GT with the 390 and those twin hood scoops. Everybody knew the Mustang, but the Comet guys knew they'd snuck one past you.

@crockpics Aqualung on the 8-track in my buddy's car. Ian Anderson standing on one leg playing that flute was the strangest, coolest thing on any stage.

@DoYouRemember To Hell and Back on the late movie with Dad. He told me that was really Audie Murphy playing himself, and I never forgot it. A true American hero.

@OldSchool80s Hold Me Now, Thompson Twins. That one played at every roller rink couples skate that winter, and the chorus stuck in your head for a week.

@landofthe80s Finger on the record button of the boom box, waiting for the DJ to stop talking. Half my mixtapes started with the last two seconds of some deejay's voice.

@GrowingUpRetro Knock? My door didn't even have a lock. Mom walked in with a laundry basket whenever she pleased, and if the stereo was too loud, Dad sure didn't knock either.

[Frank @ItsSummer1970]

@MeTVtoons The dinosaur rib, no contest. The rack that tipped Fred's car over at the drive-in. I wanted one of those every Saturday morning. 🍖

[Frank @ItsSummer1970]

@landofthe80s Bologna on Wonder Bread, a Little Debbie Swiss Roll, and a thermos of Kool-Aid that leaked by lunchtime. The Ding Dongs were always the best trade bait.

[Frank @ItsSummer1970]

@GrowingUpRetro Butter, always. Mom buttered the outside, Kraft Singles in the middle, cast iron skillet sizzling. Cut corner to corner with a bowl of Campbell's tomato. Never heard of mayo till I was grown.

Truth!

🚨BREAKING: ELON JUST DROPPED THE HARD TRUTH THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO HEAR

“The reason we are seeing this extreme amount of hatred and violence is because we are actually succeeding in getting rid of corruption and waste. If we weren't succeeding… they wouldn't care.

[Frank @ItsSummer1970]

@solar_ric We need to get rid of the democratic party.

[Frank @ItsSummer1970]

@HustleBitch_ They all do it. I stand outside of Lowes and have 4 bars of service, go inside to shop and zero connectivity unless I connect to their wifi.
