Come Home When the Streetlights Go On: Fun Facts and Fond Memories Growing Up In the 1950s!

“Fascination with the 1950s seems to grow stronger as the years go by. As one of our country’s most optimistic and culturally rich decades, it brought us happy times at the backyard barbecue, innovations like the polio vaccine, and mind-boggling challenges like the race into space. New fads, fashions and entertainment filled the 1950s: poodle skirts, Hula-hoops, and coonskin caps, as the early days of television brought music, comedy, and drama right into our living rooms as never before. And those cars! The styles and chrome and colors—it is no wonder Sunday drives became so popular. Family life was apple pie idyllic.” Reminisce Books Even though I was fortunate to experience the exciting new people, challenges, innovations, events, fads, and entertainment that emerged this decade, it was the simple things that made growing up then special. Families had dinner together with actual conversations, and low crime allowed kids to play outside all day and parents did not worry. Yes, it was a great time to grow up. Life was simpler, happier, and less stressful. Join me on a trip back in time, the Happy Days are waiting.
