scrounging through the streets and bushes for bottles to return to the store for candy money
sun tan lotion that Promoted tanning, dark as can be at the beach
stick ball (anybody still play?)
booths at arcades where you could make your own record (a 45)
penn station when it was Grand...full of marble, wrought iron...that big clock
"counting back" change at the store counter (& the manual cash register)
coins of silver
(and those zinc nickels...)
hootenanny , go go boots
real winters in new England
bell and beads, suede jackets with fringe, handing out flowers
afros
