Loved saddle shoes. In the 70s (during the 50s nostalgia period) they came back -- with platforms.

I had two pairs: Black and white leather and brown and beige suede. From Kinney Shoes. (Remember them?)

Saddle shoes returned in the 80s but they were slimmer. Still have my two pairs: Blue and white and pink and white.

Don't ask.

@qualitygal,

I hated saddle shoes in junior high! I remember having black and white ones, red and tan ones, and navy and white ones.

Food counters in department stores, where you could sit and have lunch.

@house_cat What a FUN thread! Guess I came to the party late . . . so I added a lot of memories. Wasn't childhood "back in the day" the best ever? (Glad I'm not raising my family now.) Thanks for such great memories; sounds like most of us had wonderful times!

@QVCkitty1

Did you ever get the feeling Captain Kangaroo was on tranquilizers?

@just bee, he was pretty chill. LOL.

Head scarves. I remember my grandmother and mother wearing them. Once in a while my sister and I had to wear one on windy days. By the time the 60's arrived we wanted nothing to do with them!!!

@jubilant I started school in 1968 and it was only a one block walk from my home. My best friend two doors down from me walked together daily. One winter morning her Mother put a scarf like that above on her and I could not help but laugh and tell her she looked like her Mom. She never wore it again and I have always felt bad that I laughed at her even if we were 6 years old. We joked about it in our high school years but I still felt bad for laughing. I never wore one after I started school but I do remember doing it at other times. YUCK.

@beckyb1012 That's it....that's exactly it! Who wanted to look like their mom and grandma. LOL! Maybe your little friend forgot all about it.

@KingstonsMom

And in drug stores. In Albuquerque we have Model Pharmacy and they still have a soda fountain counter and serve food.

ABQ moves slowly.
