Good Life in Boom Times!

This blog is about memories of fun times in years past.... Specifically what it was like growing up in the Post-War hey-day of the Baby-boom Generation.  If you're looking for a place to rant and rave about The Summer of Love or the Occupy Movement - You're in the wrong place. 

The fun things I want to talk about are not controversial, and maybe aren't so common anymore. 1960s Toys; Things like Locally-produced Children's TV shows; Bowling Alleys right down the street; Riding your bike to school and playing in the street all day; Going to birthday parties with you friends in the neighborhood; Finding your dad's Stag Magazines; Visiting cheesy roadside attractions on the weekend because your parents didn't have the money for a real vacation; CB Radio......  It's a long list and I hope all of you readers out there will provide me with your ideas for future columns.

So, here we go!  And to be serious for just one moment, this blog is dedicated to our great friend  Roger J. McNamara 1959-1990.... The talented young man who always knew of somewhere we could buy beer despite the fact that we were only 16 year-old high school students.
