Gone Are the Days

Gone are the days of poodle skirts and bobbie socks, classic cars and music that rocks. The Ed Sullivan show and Elvis Presley’s gyrating hips, guys racing their cars for pink slips. No more drive-in theaters or soda shops, forty-fives or school sock hops. Penny Loafers or slicked back hair, gas prices that are fair. No more Howdy Doody time or black and white TV, The Milton Berle Show or I Love Lucy. Full service stations or diner girls on roller skates, families cruising down route 66 to see the states. An era when schools were safe and crime was low, some of the best times one could ever know. However time and technology has since moved on, oh what a shame those days are gone.
