From fringe to fro, the 70s and 80s had the best hairstyles. Nowadays, the ‘cool’ kids have broccoli-headed hairdos that barely constitute as style, but back in our day, with our platform shoes, flared jeans, and vibrant jackets, all we needed to accessorize a bad-to-the-bone attitude was a rockin’ mop.

Bellbottom jeans were cool.  If you had pants with an egregiously wide flare at the bottom in the 70s you were undoubtedly the coolest person in the room. Pair that with a neon pair of quad skates and you were in contention to be the grooviest kid at the roller rink! With funky tunes and …

There was a time, dear reader when we had to watch TV live. We raced to the bathroom during the commercial breaks and flopped onto the floor 2″ from the screen when our show came back on. And if you missed the broadcast, you were missing out. There was no way to rewind or look …

Did you ever stand up on the park swings?  If you were a latchkey kid like many children in the 70s and 80s, you probably didn’t have a hover-parent to survey your every move on the jungle gym, which means you definitely pushed the boundaries of safety on that swing set. Kids back in those …

Do you remember how cool it sounded when you put a baseball card in your bike spokes? We all wished we had a little 2-stroke motorcycle, but all Dad could afford was this lame single-speed Schwinn.

Remember those metal lunchboxes that came with a matching thermos? Not only could you bring a Wonder Bread and bologna sandwich to school every day for lunch, but you could accompany that deliciously singular meal with either a hot soup or a cool glass of Hawaiian punch! Life was good.  Not only would you flex …

Kids these days are tough to entertain. They need their iPad, cell phone, and about 100 other gadgets before they’ll play silently on their own and they’ll still find you in 20 minutes saying they’re bored. Back in the 70s and 80s, all you needed to do was hand a kid a lit sparkler, a …
