    The Early to Mid 1970s: The Last Gasps of the Golden Era

    My High School had a dress code up until 1973. Short hair, dress slacks, and dress shirts. This all came to a halt at the beginning of the school year in the fall of 1973. Within a year I had hair down to my shoulders, and was wearing wide bell bottom jeans. Having been born in California...

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    We had 7°C on Tuesday morning on the home thermometer with mist in a couple of the valleys. To me always a sign in August that Fall is not all that far away.

    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    Thanks guys, I have looked at the vintage approach and found that the prices where rather high for good examples, and I would have to buy in the States, which in it's self is not a problem. Just that I would possibly have the hassel of customs and such. If I do buy new I would really prefer...

    Golden Era Culture or Cultures?

    This tends to hit it for me as well. I was born in California and moved to a small Indiana Town in 1968 when I was 9 years old. This was like a time warp for me as the small town was still locked into the late 1948's. I did not realize that at that time as a 9 year old tends to see things a...

    The Doggy Bag

    Good point Flicka, when I go to America on business I am really amazed at the size of the portions. I do see many people taking home the leftovers though. I think it is rather common in the USA, and less so here in Europe.

    Did men stay at home longer in the Golden Era?

    This type of a family arrangement is rather common in Germany today. I have a two family house that my wife and I bought specifically so the her parents could have part of it. Not a bad set up when it comes to looking after children, and looking after the parents at some point in time.

    Brooks Brothers Clothing

    This is what I saw as well when I handled some of the BB products at the shop at the Detroit Airport. I really thought that the price did not match the quality.

    Happy 100th Birthday Fenway park

    Good point Lizzie, I went to Tiger Stadium a number of times back in the 1980's a must say it was a grand old place. A classical ball park, and a proper place to watch a good ball game.
