Tower Records ( I literally used to spend HOURS there)

pagers (could easily say "Hey...I couldnt get to a phone" Cant get away with that with a cell phone)

LSD (cant do that shit anymore...but boy do I miss it)

Saturday morning cartoons

Oh yes! They had a Tower Records here in San Diego (2 actually)...that I would go to and spend HOURS looking for that perfect purchase! Sadly now, one of them is a Gentlemans clothing store, and the other, I think became an Albertson's supermarket...boo hoo!

all this candy talk....Yummmmmmmmmmm

i just remembered these... haven't seen them in ages, and remember when they came with a ring inside

Woolworths department store diner ....

those table jukeboxes at the cafe.

Yeah, my grandmother used to take us to one all the time. It's where I first found my love for shrimp. I mean, it probably wasn't the greatest shrimp ever to an avid seafood fan, but to a young FauxReal it was the shit.

awww I would be all alone because I had to go downtown and transfer buses to get home in junior high school...so i would walk up to the counter like i was grown and order food that usually wasnt that good...but i was an avid people watcher then and it didnt matter cause for a lil while i could be grown before i got home...

remember when they used to serve hot chips wrapped in news paper

Cassettes!

I would say a record player, but my other half has one. Albeit an updated professional one that has computer capability... with a usb stick thingy that allows you to import album recordings into your computer. Every once in a while when we get nostaligic we can throw on an Earth Wind and Fire or Gino Vannelli ab-lum just like it was 30 years ago !

I also miss good scripted night time soap operas like Dynasty and Falcon Crest. They've been replaced by reality shows and tv dating contests

I miss tv commercials with characters that were quirky and charming like State Farm's Good Neighbor, the Culligan Man, Playtex 18-Hour Bras, Madge & her Palmolive Dishwashing Liquid, & Mr. Whipple's Charmin. Nowadays it seems like tv is just one big 24 hour advertisement for pharmaceuticals to help you grow hair, lose weight, fight depression, or keep an erection...all with side effects that far outweigh their benefits

I miss daytime variety shows like Merv Griffin, Mike Douglass, and Dinah Shore.

my kids

I was going to say scripted tv because I've never liked "reality" tv.

I miss Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.

-Disc cameras (film cameras of any sort, really)

-Atari 2600

-original Nintendo

-Coleco Vision

-Apple II computers

-records and record players

-those computers that plugged into your TV where you could spend half the day typing in a "program" just to see a bolt of lightning flash across the screen

-the AMC Eagle (was almost my first car)

-Speak N Spell

so many more I can't think of right now..........

I'll never understand why America has no decent music store these days.
