Remember Da Good Ole Days?

[Edie Antoinette]

I had me a rubber Froggie when I was 2yrs old that I loved! Unfortuantely I squeezed him out of the little
window in the back of our 55 Chevy and he lost his life on the highway..

ROFLMBO (it wasn't funny then though..:( ...)

So what are some of your memories of the good ole days regardless of your age?

I've always been addicted to both magazines..and my heart just sank with the last ones I bought. I couldn't believe it! I had a subscription to Jet too for the longest. I guess times are really a changin'...

You can read Jet in 2 mins now cover to cover. My best part was This Week's Photo of the stars..

My favorite part was " What Are People Talking About " but I think they stopped that. Anyone remember that?

[Edie Antoinette]

That was my favorite too Bert. You could get all the goods on stuff in there. I wonder if they still have it too...

[Edie Antoinette]

This is priceless!

WOW! look at the Nov 15, 1951 and the headline"Why Night Clubs are Dying" ... I would love to read that article...apparently they were given a transplant LOL! What the young folks are doing in clubs these day still boggles my mind.

I haven't read a JET in decades.

Just click the magazine to read the article on page 26 Zero...I put the link also in that response to read from cover to cover all Jets from 1950's-2005.

Happy Reading!!!

That was some good reading...as a matter of fact the whole issue was very interesting....some of the things I read make you wonder why we call those the "good ole days" ROTF .... I'm gonna read a few more

Jet and Ebony chronicle "our" story better than any other publication. I've been reading those older issues as well and man! The good ole days is certainly a relative phrase... :)

This movie was fascinating to me in the day. It's so corny now though. I fell OUT laughing at the
effects when I saw it on cable last--but you have to hand it to them, they were innovative back then.

50's Phones:

[KnightD12]

I remember those "Party line" phones. You had to pick it up and see if anyone else was talking first. How in the word did we put up with that? We had phone numbers with names in them...very easy to remember. Now we have to dial 10 digits just to call next door!! I still have trouble remembering my OWN phone number. Good thing I can store other people number, or I would be totally lost. and pay phones were only 10 cents, and you could talk as long as you wanted. Last time I used a pay phone it was 50 cents, and the darn thing would cut you off in 2 or 3 minutes Ha Ha Ha!

I know--or tell you to put in more money! It ain't nothin like it used to be. My mother put a lock on our phone to keep us from gabbing but I cracked her system by punching out each number with the little button that you push to hang up...like a morse code type thing...ROFLMBOOOOO
