RedRiverII Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I remember using silver money as cash. 1960 I received 25 cents for allowance. I'd buy a 12 DC Comic and a pound of green grapes and have a wonderful afternoon. I just looked up the value of a silver quarter, any old silver quarter and they are selling or being offered at $5.50. I could still pretty much get the grapes today but perhaps not the comic.

unforgiven Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 We didn't have air conditioning so we had a large fan in the window that was reversible. Then window shakers came out that needed a 220 line. At 10:30 "do you know where your kids are at" would come on the TV. Was a long time before I found out that the Wizard of Oz had color.

suzukiray Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I remember, how at 10 years old, I was the oldest of my cousins to get my first .22 rifle for Christmas. Most of my cousins got theirs at 8 or 9 but they all lived in the country and we lived in the city. Gas at 19 cents a gallon in KC when I was little too. Penny bubble gum and buying a few pieces at a time, and them another few pieces, and then another, to not have to pay tax and lose any!! Lol!!!
