It was definitely a great time to be a kid.

I don’t think gals are going to be wearing furs to the grocery. lol

I do. Lol

Maybe not this style, but I definitely do. I don't care much for what people think. Believe it or not, I usually get compliments more than anything else.

Everything I have is pre-owned, usually from eBay. Theres a big city nearby so even thrift stores around here have um.

You are new here so I’m gonna give you a pass but the rule is, it didn’t happen without a picture.

Just did this morning withy husband and I in a deer blind. That count? Lol

With a lynx and rex fur. To be precise

I was 6 and believe I just learned how to ride a bike.

I remember summer of 72'. Not only the pool but the mini skirts. Oh my..........and of course couple days ago went to dermatologist to have about 5 spots on my face biopsied. Those summer of 72' sunburns. The debt always comes due.

And driving into town today, passed a roadkill skunk........and was reminded of this.......offered here for the uninformed and unenlightened........

And in case anyone is wondering, no that was not some obscure song that played on backroads country stations. That song went to #16 on Top 40 charts and played on stations like WHB during the day, and WLS or KAAY after dark. AM radio rules.

Back then men were men and woman didn't do man's jobs.

Been awhile since I heard that, thanks!

We had a major flood in '72.

I was 8 years old in 72.
Had a .22 and a .410 shotgun.
Could roam anywhere my legs could get me.

I’d love to be inside a grocery store at this time and see the prices!!! Great picture!

You would of loved it A&P store had nothing but coffee beans and big grinders at the checkout nothing smelled as good as that The dime store had a row of glass candy bins with the dna of every kid in town on it well it was called slobber then

A PhD in Chemistry! Sounds like a brilliant man. What type of work did he do?

1972, dec,12 brother died playing football in the neighbor's field, got knee or hit in the side of the head and broke a blood vessel, found died on his bedroom floor in the morning, he was 4 years older than me, I remember all our bikes with forks like that, and the older girls with the short shirts,

13 years old in 72 all pumped up to start high school.

Bring it back! Great times for a kid growing up In Northern Illinois....pheasants walking around every where, so were the red and gray foxes. Like most I didn't know how good we had it....

I was 30 and the whole of the 70's was over seas. When I came back what a shock, I left millimeter land to go to inch land I thought, nope this place was millimeter too by then. too. Everything had changed in that 12 years......jk

I lost my best friend in 72. Still believe if I hadn`t been setting rat traps on opening night he would still be around. Was a tough year for a 17 year old.
