Seventies Growing Up In Missouri Posted By John
My wife and I, grew up in the 70's. She lived in Missouri back then, and I moved around with my family to various places like California, Hawaii, and New York. When we first met, we talked alot about those days, and how much things have changed over the years, and the fun we experienced back then, although we did not know one another then. She recalls spending time at the roller rinks back then, skating to songs like Tony Orlando and Dawn's Knock Three Times, Boogie Fever by the Sylvers, Andy Gibb's Love Is Thicker Than Water, and so many more wonderful tunes too. As for myself, I was listening to the likes of KISS, Journey, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bachman Turner Overdrive, while going out to play a game of catch or hoops with my friends. She remembers getting an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas one year, along with Chrissy and Dawn Dolls, and a 10- speed bike, while feeling the the queen of the neighborhood back then. In those days you could ride anywhere and for as long as you liked, and never worry about anything. I, on the other hand, remember getting a Swinger Bicycle, complete with banana seat, and a big orange flag pole anchored to the back of it. My dad also added a bell to it too, LOL. That same year I also got a Mattel LED handheld football game, and a Waltons lunchbox for my birthday. We both fondly remember so much more of those times, like the television shows and movies back then, not to mention Saturday Morning cartoons.

Seventies Growing Up Posted By damone.supica
I remember going down to the bowling alley or other places and playing lots of pinball during our free time. In those early 1970's, they only had electromechanical machines. Each machine had different cartoon face glass with different themes. I also remember how much easier things seemed then. No internet, no cell phones, no email.....just a totally different era that I wish I could spend a day or two back in time.
