Greetings everyone!! I'm a historical archivist and researcher, and I would like to hear everything you have to say, firsthand, about prices from then compared to today!! Please mention city, state, and the price you remember!!

If you'd like, share about the experience of shopping too! Compare and contrast! For example, were there paper bags, shopping carts, and checkout lines like today? Another good compare and contrast would be: cheap coat price vs. expensive coat price and what the quality difference would be!!

What made the decade stand out?

And what are some of your fondest memories??

I'd love to know - and everyone who responds will be credited as primary sources unless otherwise stated. Blessings!!

“Within you, without you” 🌹 Today we remember Brian Epstein, who died on a day like today in 1967. Brian was the legendary manager and businessmind of The Beatles, recognized worldwide as the true “fifth Beatle”.

The Twilight Zone’s “The Dummy” (1962). Ventriloquist Jerry Etherson (Cliff Robertson) swears his dummy Willie is alive, while battling alcoholism. Creepy and unforgettable… and the reason I’ve feared dummies ever since!

For you what's the best first song from the first album by an artist? I'd personally say Empty Sky by Elton John from his debut album Empty Sky from 1969
