The good, the bad and the ugly back in the day...

People used to carry cash...

People used to look you in the eye when they spoke to you...

We thought 50 cents for a gallon of gas was outrageous...

Your turn....

Back in the day when AM radio was king and actually played music.

When cars didn't all look a like.

When TV was G rated and could be viewed by the entire family.

When it was illegal for an interracial (black and white) couple to marry, and looked down on in states that allowed it.
