    I watch Recollection Road, and some days, I really wish I could go back. Even if just for a little while. They were the best of days.

    Thank you Recollection Road for your wonderful videos of yesteryear. I'm 74 yo and they always evoke such wonderful memories of days gone by.

    We lived on our bikes in the early 70's. Huffys and stingrays with banana seats. We went all over as carefree as could be. Those were great times.

    I took a high school class in typewriting and spent several years pounding those manual typewriter keys. What a joy when the electric typewriter came along!

    I'm 59 and I remember all of these thanks for the memories.🇺🇲🙋‍♂️🇺🇲

    Playing with the View-Master when i was a kid made me love photography & travel later in life. One of my most beloved toys ever!!!
  • @footballlvnlady
    I remember in high school typing class. We all were typing in unison and then reached the end and the bells rung.
  • It was such a great time to be young!! Thank you for this sweet look back 😊

  • Who could forget the family station wagon for vacations … in Avocado green here 😂

    One Sat a month we had slide night. My dad preferred slides to photographs. Great memories.

    Viewmasters were indeed a part of my life. Still have them with a box of vintage viewmaster slides packed away.😁

    The amount of different cigarette lighters produced back then is mind boggling. I collect them, and the best I'll ever do is maybe 10% of models ever produced. Same with table top lighters and ash trays, endless variations.

    your voice, the background music, and the subject, makes me just want to rip open space and time, and go back to those times

    Cousin Eddie, in National Lampoon's Vacation, said it best. I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper. It does just fine by itself. Mmm Mmm! As a typical poor college student, that was about as GOURMET as meals got for me.

    In 1959, when I graduated from Jr High, my parents gave me a "Shick 3 Speed Electric Shaver." I am Italian, so I hit adolescence early ! 😂😂😂 When I was in my single years I fixed many a "Hamber Helper" meal. It was easy and it was good ! 8 TRACK was a total thrill to have. I had one installed in my 1968 Buick GS400 convertable as a Birthday present.

    Oh how i miss those saturday mornings with my bowl of cereal and bugs bunny, scooby and the jetsons
  • @matrox
    Manual lawn mowers were excellent exercise.
  • @grumpyoldwizard
    How different things look through the lens of time. Thanks for the video!

    3:00 That was the EXACT moment that that kid learned not to put his fingers into a fan. Childhood was magical in the pre-nerfed days.
