As I’m just a touch younger than would have been necessary to directly experience it, I’m wondering if any of our slightly older members might want to offer their observations regarding something that has always stuck in the back of my mind…. Here’s the deal: When I have watched television shows and movies from the 1950s, and sometimes earlier, I’ve noticed that people appeared to conduct a great deal of business later in the evenings. For example, watching a Perry Mason episode it seems almost commonplace that he might ask someone to meet him at his office at 9:00 pm. Similar behaviors appear in other shows and movies, as with merchants being open somewhat later into the evening and business being conducted much the same. Was this truly the case? Did business people conduct business or meetings in the evenings, that is, things that we might find typical to do during the “normal” business day? I’ve often opined as to whether or not this was a construct of the entertainment business, or if it was actually like this during that time. ?? -D thinker of obscure thoughts _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
