Awesome thread guys. Went through twice just in case I missed something.
I remember walking into the IDA (drug store) with a dime and walking out with a small paper bag brimming with penny candy.
I remember the whole family gathering around the TV on Saturday night for Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. I loved that show.
I remember my Brother and I playing our first game of Advanced D&D in his friends basement.
I remember my first day of middle school. So many concert t-shirts! The ones with the black body and white sleeves. I had a Def Leppard High and Dry one.
I remember skipping school to shoot pool and the pool hall owner freaking out when the Erie radio station broke off the music to announce that President Reagan had been shot.
I remember bragging about getting my license to my friends and then backing into a cottage 10 minutes later.
I remember when smokes were $1.50 a pack, a 2-4 was 19 bucks and a mickey of lonestar was $9.
I remember being paid in cash and actually having to go into the bank and wait in line to deposit my earnings.
