My memories of the '50's:
Elvis Presley,

- THE KING OF ROCK 'N ROLL -

hot rod muscle cars, Ricky Nelson,
dirt oval race tracks and driving the Powder Puff races,
soda fountain Malted Milks, Fabian,
drive-in movies (sneaking in for free),
Hollywood mufflers, real drive-in restaurants,
The Platters, James Dean movies,

school days without air conditioning
- yes, we survived the heat!!,
real movie theatres for the glorious musical movies
- like South Pacific, Oklahoma and Dancing in the Rain,
spending all Saturday morning at the movies
for 50¢ (includes popcorn and candy)
