    Based on the way the people are dressed, the cars in the photo, the vegetarian and level of sunlight, can you guys help me approximate a month and year for this photo? It was taken in Connecticut, if that helps as far as the month part. The cars could help with the year. From a home movie...

    Why didn't men wear wedding bands?

    Looking at a lot of old family photos from the 1930s/1940s it seems the general rule was for men not to wear their wedding band. I've looked at photos from both sides of my family and all of the men pictured were happily married men, in some cases religious men who dearly loved their wives--but...

    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    I mean in literally every area, the '70s were hideous. Clothes, hairstyles, morals, the mainstream pop was horrid....A case in point, I was watching the 1974 Great Gatsby...So dated, so horrid, so cheesy. So many movies from the '70s--outside of the classics---haven't at all aged well, even...

    In the 60s, the Connery years, were the Bond films appreciated by the GI Generation (1910-1924), or were they more often something Boomers enjoyed? Just out of curiosity, for anyone who grew up in the era.

    What is the Golden Era to you?

    What, in my fellow forumer's minds, separates the Golden Era from the Roaring '20s and the Post War/Americana era ('45-74)? What, to you, locks the Golden Era between the '30s and '40s? Where does it begin--1933? 1930? Where does it end? 1945? 1949? What is, in essence, the Golden Era to you...
