    The birth of the ranch house.

    I love the original large plate glass window in my house. One of the things that sold me on the house was standing inside, looking out, thinking about the people who had looked out of that window before me going back to 1950, and the kinds of things they may have seen. Maybe Leave it to Beaver...

    The birth of the ranch house.

    Thanks. The cabinets are very high quality and solid unlike the veneer you find in most today. I adore them! The linoleum not so much but it's not too dreadful for now.

    The birth of the ranch house.

    Thanks. A reason why many people place linoleum over another layer is because before the 1980's it is almost certain to either contain asbestos in the flooring and/or in the glue backing! We want to replace ours but will have it tested first.

    The birth of the ranch house.

    The kitchen: Do the cabinets look like Maple? Also, do these cabinets look 50's, or 60's? The ranch was built in 1950 but I am unsure if these are original. Once I'm moved in I will take pictures- this is from the MLS. The linoleum looks very 60's to me- it's a yellow pebbled look.

    I will be living in a 1950's ranch in May and can hardly wait!

    Is the vintage crowd the drunken costumed crowd? A thread for "squares"

    Right, and anyone who squeezes themselves into a single stereotype, or others, is missing out.

    Is the vintage crowd the drunken costumed crowd? A thread for "squares"

    THAT is how I define it, too! I also see it as one who does not judge another by glitz and glamor; they do not mistake charisma for character. A square can go out to party or stay in, but responsibilities first! I also see it as one who does not feel ashamed to be "plain" and "ordinary" yet by...

    I admit readily that if I had nightclubs around here where I could get all dolled up in an evening gown and listen to a live band or crooners, and have the whole thing be dignified, magical and pretty, I would go.

    Do you also like to sip herbal tea with well-mannered and interesting schleps?

    Bottom line is I see a lot of stereotyping on here or the need to define oneself into a vintage subset. There are as many ways to live vintage as there were people alive at that time. I am introducing the oft ridiculed square way of life as a viable option and topic for discussion.

    Is the vintage crowd the drunken costumed crowd? A thread for "squares"

    I am inviting a conversation to discuss the opposite of what is presented in the first thread which is why I started a new one. The second one, I don't think it is exactly the same.

    Have we become the bombastic drunken crowd that is cranky about respecting closing time even though we don’t want to go and are dressed to the nines? I was on the phone with a friend of mine in New York and she complained that I go to bed too early and that she’s eating dinner at 8:00 p.m...

    It makes sense to me, too. I grew up in NYC and would party til dawn. Here in Maine, you might find some action at the local bean suppa. :)

    I say the same standards should be applied to a drunk.

    In fact, just thinking, I met one of my best friends at an after-hours party long ago.
