[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 719807, member: 4040"] Wow. I remember lots of these things. Keds sneakers that you kept white by using white shoe polish. Snapping green beans while sitting on the back steps. Girls couldn't wear pants to school. Three - maybe four - channels on TV, and the stations played the Star Spangled Banner at signoff, and then put up a test pattern till programming resumed in the morning. Good TV. Medical Center; Marcus Welby, MD; Dragnet; Emergency!; Owen Marshall, Attorney at Law; stuff like that, with an actual storyline. When color TV became available, and the TV Guide put a little C by those programs that were in color. The cool candies my grandparents carried at their Ben Franklin, in a little tiny town outside of Redding. Department stores that sold just about everything. Gas below a dollar a gallon. And if you bought more than 8 gallons, you got a set of glasses or a toy truck or something equally interesting. Embroidering dish towels. I didn't do this, but my Nana and mom did. [/QUOTE]
