How about when TV didn't come on until 4 p.m. and signed off after the 11:00
p.m. news with the Star Spangled Banner. In Boston we had only 4 channels
to chose from, unless you had a good antenna and could pick up Providence.

Ok, the age question thread made me start thinking how different each
generation's experiences are. Mine are kind of a mismash because my
parents
were much older before they started their family and almost all of my
cousins were old enough to be my parents. Thought it might be fun to do
some comparing of stuff we remember.
The Aldridge Family radio program
The Shadow radio program
It being safe to eat anything you got on Halloween
(homemade/unwrapped/etc)
Riding the go-kart down the main street in town and not getting in
trouble
with the police
All grown ups having the authority to call you down if you acted up in
public
Walking home from school to eat lunch
The first big CB craze (my dad bought us handheld CBs to use as walkie
talkies - wow did we hear some stuff)
Challenger Explosion
Ronald Reagan getting shot
When the K1000 was metal and glass (my first SLR)
Lawn darts that had points
