My "little" brother is 9 years younger than me. He and I remark often that we had such fun being kids!
Remember playing Ghost In The Graveyard, Kick The Can, Swinging Statues, Four Square, and Hopscotch?
When you wanted a friend to come out and play you sat on the front porch steps and called their name. "Oh, C-a-r-o-l".
Saturday matinees at our neighborhood theater:
Admission: 25 cents for a double feature including cartoons.
Popcorn: 10 cents a bag.
Sodas: 20 cents and were dispensed from those machines that dropped the cup down behind that plastic door and filled it. How come on the few occasions that I had the money for one it was out of cups and the drain got my drink?
Candy (in the jewelry case): 6 and 11 cents.
Ushers walked around with flashlights to make sure that the crowd wasn't up to any mischief!
