your car could get hit by another and only get a dent
kids used their imagniation for toys and playing
you built forts in the woods and slept out without someone calling you in as suspicious punks
very few people watched TV, (most didn't have one)
sitting at the table at night listening to the radio shows,
hopalong cassidy, green hornet, the shadow, amos and andy
a new ford mustang was only $750, $1000 for convertable
mcdonalds burgers were 7 cents
