71 years young and remember everything on this clip like it was yesterday, when “all my troubles seemed so far away!”

Those were the best days growing up. As a kid on the weekends you stayed out all day until it Dinner time . Then you got to go out until it got dark. You played with your friends all day all over the neighborhoods instead of sitting in your room texting them. You carried a dime with you anytime you went out in case of emergency so you could call home on a pay phone.

I am 65 and blown away by all these wonderful memories. How could things that seemed so normal now appear very strange!?

We've lost so much. It breaks my heart.

It was a friendly time, a safe time, everybody knew everyone else and kept an eye out for each others children. There was no violence in schools, there were mothers who stayed home and Sundays were for church services and family dinners. Kids played without worry until those street lights came on and summer vacation was a free spirted time for kids to play with each other, building forts, endless street games, and sleepovers at each others house. A snow day was a "blessing" to be out of school and as soon as it was announced on the radio we all headed to the local hill to sled the day away. I cry for todays kids who have no earthly idea of what this was like.... it was a time that is sadly gone forever. We were the lucky ones to grow up at such an awesome time in America!

I am 65 and remember everything that was mentioned. Boy, those sure were simpler and way better times! Thank you!

Guess I'm getting old...I personally remember all of these things 😂

I remember in the late 1950s we would ride out bikes behind the fog of the mosquito sprayer, little did we know we were breathing in cancerous DDT but I'm happy to report that I'm mow 71 and still kicking!

I was blessed to have been a child in the 50's and 60's. What an amazing time! I would go back in a heartbeat! ❤

If there was a kid in a family who didn't resemble either parent, they were often jokingly called "the milkman's baby". 😉

I'm 75 and I remember all of this. Those were better days than now. We didn't have cell phones, no microwave ovens and our TV in 1954 had one channel. A year later CBS and ABC stations arrived. Much simpler times. Dad's worked and Mothers stayed home and raised the children. People were friendlier and more respectful. Then the mid 60s arrived with the Vietnam War heating up. That was the beginning politically of where we are now. A mess.

I remember trying to trick the milkman into delivering chocolate milk by leaving notes pretending to be from my mother. I suppose the fact that they were written in crayon probably tipped him off that they were fakes!

I really got a kick from this one as I am a Boomer. Loved hearing the milkman delivering milk in the morning, and I’d swear it tasted better than market milk. I was one of the millions who saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I could hardly wait to see that show that night. Thanks for talking about my generation.

I loved the way these memories were put together. It reminds me of times we were human and respected each other .

My dad was a milk man delivery to homes. Some people actually leave the door unlocked for him just to go on in . Times have really changed. S&h stamps were really neat. If you went on Wednesday to the store you got double stamps. My mom got several things throughout the years. We used regular cards on our bicycle spokes. It was a neat sound. Times have really changed. I remember all of these things. Life seemed so much simpler then. ❤️

It was a great time to be a kid! I was born at the end of 1961 and am at the tail end of the baby boomer generation. I have fond memories of being a teenager in my neighborhood in the 1970’s! I had great friends. We played baseball all summer long and played football during the cold weather months. It was a simpler time and life was good!

They need to bring back drive ins. There are a few around, but I really miss them.

Gen X here. Our family had milk delivery until 1979-1980. They still used the old stand-up driver trucks as well. I remember in the summertime with the windows open, hearing the glass bottles clinking at 4-6 AM when he showed up.

I honestly believe we lived in the very best time ever. Even with the social upheaval and the Vietnam war th. 60s were the greatest time to be alive. I remember all of these things and so much more. As another poster commented, we’ve lost so much.
