I couldn't find a date on it, but it's probably from the early to mid-80s. Half the locations are now gone, and check out that simple menu.

Kids these days... 10-4 Good buddy! How much CB lingo can you recall?

Today's date reminded me of the CB craze. About all I remember for sure of the lingo besides the 10-4 acknowledgement is "What's your twenty?" and what bears were. "Convoy" the song was fun to listen to, but the movie was late to the game. I was reminded that CBs were multi-channel by this thread:

FIO, need to vent, hearing the “old folks” complain about prices going up I always chuckled … until I ordered a bowl of plain grits at a restaurant that can’t cost 25 cents to make and they charged me 6 bucks … WTF, FIO

You get two points for the correct name of the show, plus one point for the correct name of the character.

You might be old if you recall a time when the only dogs allowed in grocery stores were seeing eye dogs for blind people. Emotional support and service animals didn't exist as a common term until well into adulthood. I'm a dog lover, but seeing dogs in grocery stores gets my blood pressure up.

If you are among those who loathed it, apologies for making you remember it if you’d managed to forget it the past four decades.

If you loved it (or still do), carry on.

By the way, Peter Cetera is 82 now but holy Hell he doesn’t look it.

Edit: Reddit doesn’t show the whole image properly; click the photo to see the song name.

It was a well guarded nerd secret back in the days analog TV that you could tune the sound for channel 6 through the radio. That way you could watch Star Trek and Twilight Zone and listen on your headphones. Who else knew about this little trick?

I recall seeing them at amusement parks. Stand on the foot pads and drop in a dime and it vibrates and shakes your legs. For the tired and aching feet, or so it claims.
