Good old days. I remember getting my 1st hair portable dryer . It was in a case with a head bonnet you attached to the hose . I remeber my Dad givng us beatles albums in the very early 1960's. I remember buying alot of albums . I had early Elton John among Crosby Stills Nash Young and so so many more . Alot of my friends with curly hair used to iron their hair to straighten it . Did anyone have a friend pierce their ear lobes with ice and a sewing needle ? Well, I did . I so wanted to wear my Mothers gold earrings !

I got a laugh of the title. "Only Things Baby Boombers Will Remember." Humm, I am far of being a Baby Boomer (I am a Gen Xer). Alot of the stuff listed is more from the 70's and early 80's. You figure that even the late Baby Boomers would have only been 7/8 years old in 1970. I remember alot of the mentioned being cool when I was coming up.
Strange thing is that eveyone I knew who had an Atari. It seemed to be a rainy/snow day thing. Even then kids still found ways to play with other stuff inside on those days. I remember we had one and we rarely played it.

@skatting44. Yup, in college we ironed each other’s hair and pierced each other’s ears with ice and needle. LOL

Woolworth’s was a favorite. Felt so grown up. Me BF and I would take the bus to the city to see James Dean movies. When an old song like Here Comes the Sun comes on I close my eyes and go back there. Smiles and a few tears.

Then we went tp People Drug store as they had a lunch counter too . Ice cream sodas and grilled cheese sandwich was our treat with my Grandparents

@bobby5 Woolworth’s was downtown, and we dressed up. They had great BLTs and made fresh large donuts there. There was a bakery also. Yum!
