Especially when you remember every one of them and you wish you could be that kid again.

Waiting for the ringing bells of the Good Humor Ice Cream truck.
Go home when the street lights come on.

It was nice, but why was segregation and the racism something to feel nostalgic about? I know it’s part of history….. but I can recall much more pleasant things like poodle skirts, wonder-bras, jump rope, Sky King, Mighty Mouse, Perry Mason, etc.

They were really the best of times and yet we didn’t understand how lucky we were.

Truly ‘GOLDEN DAYS” in every respect; never again to be witnessed or repeated.

Without any judgement of the various “non-PC crowd” we can spot within these wonderful photos, they take you back to a time that turns out to be our post-WW2 generation, a generation that was more free than any since…or, perhaps ever will be (looking at things thru the prism of coronovirus times) and of course the preceding Greatest Generation that provided these wonderful times for all the rest of us. Certainly, this should stir up deep memories, thoughts of a life long gone and times faded away. And, still, the residue of the moments still sounds clearly within our hearts and souls. We can only add the music of Bob Hope and say “Thanks for the memories.”

I am so grateful having the opportunity to spent my teen years in the 1950’s. The cars, the music and new technology like TV. Two killings in a year was a record number in a Canadian city. If a fight broke out it was bare knuckles, never a weapon which was considered unmanly. All spare cash went on decking your vehicle out with skirts and loud dual exhausts. At sixteen you were expected to be and act like an adult.

I was disappointed that I could not name all the events.
