    I also remember what a big deal it was to go shopping on a Thursday nite, the only nite grocery shops stayed open til 9p.m., and the only time my parents could actually go shopping together. Saturdays were all about markets and local school yard fairs, and even these closed at noon. Sundays and...

    It's a shame that it's nothing special these days. To me, going out to eat is always about it being more special than what I could be bothered or skilled at making.

    I relate to so much of this, especially those skates! We lived on those things and our best memories involve being chased out of the little local shopping center by the cleaner and his huge scissor-broom:gig

    When Pizza Hut first opened in my area it was a big deal watching the pizza's being made to order., much like the pizzerias did and still do. When that stopped the eat-in option soon fell by the roadside. From three 'restaurants' only one remained before being bought out by a vet. All Pizza Hut...

    This got me thinking! I never see Pizza Hut commercials on tv, nor do I see any of their familiar eateries around my area, but a search says they still exist. They hit the dirt when they started shipping in pre-made frozen food. People do not go out to be served frozen food. Unacceptable.

    I was born in 1963 ... this song was played a lot through the 1970s in our house. Such a cool song, it reminds me of watching Gidget movies for some reason.

    My best friend's brother works on a deep sea trawler most of the year and would laugh at what us land-livers called King Prawns / Shrimp. He says they catch prawns as big as bread & butter plates, and that they all go to Asian markets. What’s a Balmain Bug, and Why Do Australians Love Them...

    My father grew up 'having' to weed the garden on weekends. They had to row across a stretch of lake to the bakery for fresh bread. Nan would take her bucket to a farm up the road and get the daily spoken news while the farmer caught and milked the cow. My grandfather excelled in fishing...
