Welfare has filled the towns with children with no fathers and no guidance---crime often follows--Stop welfare to unmarried women

I helped open Fiddlers three restaurant in the northridge fashion mall in northridge ca. so many pretty girls! It’s so sad to see what it is now!

70s and 80s were pretty much the same growing up. Sometime in the late 80s, probably when the TV ads needed to start reminding parents to check on their kids, the government stepped in and took away all the fun of youth.

Must have been nice. Never experienced this crap.

Commenting on adderal is shaming children who really need it. ADHD is proven today - there is visible neurological difference in how they learn. Many of the children in the 70’s failed terribly at school and dropped out because ADHD wasn’t recognized. My sister was one of them. My son wasn’t because he got the support he needed!

Alotta fun back then. Video pretty much on point. Remember how much candy you good get for $1

Love this. So many memories.

Home when the streetlights came on.

A wholesome childhood. Unimaginable what children are exposed to today.

I'd often ride my Honda XR 75 all over town, down the highway and I didn't have a drivers permit. I was free to travel.

The good and somewhat dangerous times 🤣 But I bet most of us wouldn't have it any different 🥲

Days when We hitch hiked to town... Rode inda back of my fathers truck often sitting on the edge of the box (on a dirt road)... Went fish'n off the ledges (carried 22's & 410 shot guns) never came home till supper time.... Swam in the salt Atlantic ocean boiled conks in a tin can on an open fire onda beach.... Drank from the hose and all shared the same (glass bottle) of Pepsi.... If the phone which was hung onda wall & had a cord rang an' you weren't home nobody knew(no answering machines or call display)... Everybody's mudder cooked Sunday dinner... We all had banana bikes... We listened to local AM radio and played tapes..... Boys had crushes on girls an' girls had crushes on boys.... Kids these days will never EVER know, feel, or understand the fun & freedoms we enjoyed in the 70's I was born in 1961 and surely been missing those days (especially after living through the last 4years) 😞😞🙏 Thanks for the video👍

It's a shame what happened to all the mom and pop stores.. These conglomerates are a cancer

Those were the greatest years. As I watch this I smile because I sure remember those day But I also have a sad tear because those times are long gone .

Just the way these pics look says 70's! And omg - yes. The worst thing was mom finding work for you to do if she found you lounging around 😐 And btw us city kids didn't collect our lightening bugs in Mason Jars - we used Mayonaise jars. lol

Cannot believe how well behaved those children are😳Sad & amazed all at the same time

Oh that candy counter!!😞

I will always remember when myself,my brother and friend,we were 11y or12y old and asked the lady at the cigar and pipe counter we like a package of withe owl cigars for my dad. She handed us the cigars and we gave her the money and she said don’t get too sick boys lol

So sad our family loved sears sure do wish I still had the Christmas wish book! They are tearing down the building at Friendly Center now against sad!

How did we lose all this innocence

The part about the bathrooms had me in tears! Well done!

Another c*** s****** ceo making it's money....

Summers in 1970s as a very young immigrant kid meant endless packets of Koolaid, boxes of Jello and an oscillating fan in our apartment to beat the heat. No air conditioning in the apartment or car. We only got Popsicles as a treat at the convenience store. No ice cream trucks in our area back then. Summer felt awesome and endless…😅🎉

we were the 'sandlot' baseball all day...as we got older the audience (neighborhood girls) became almost as important as the game....no parents..just ball

That was the best of times growing up.

Homade slip and slides with a water hose and any tarp, landscape plastic or anything that would work

Things that were considered fun back then have now been labeled as dangerous.

And run fast

I remember when. my mom would go out with friends she locked us out of the house during the summer months.

Make sure the water hose was under the bushes or shade....

San Diego, we used gunny sacks on the hot slides. 🛝. Bought ice blocks to slide down the grass hills and walk from 49th & Orange to Texas St. to the Municipal pool having a great adventure both ways. Going to the beach we hitchhike out to Mission Beach or Ocean Beach. It was great way to grow up. (1950s-thru 60s). We played a game called Strike Out at Euclid Elementary. There was no call to come in, the rule be home before the street lights come on. THEN we grew up and went to Vietnam, BUMMER

Wow, so spot on for my childhood! Loved this!

I always say I miss, whenever I go to Walmart. I feel like I am an out of Towner. Even when I was a local. MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, ACTRESS Peg Bundy stated that, “ It is nothing like going to a K Mart when you go out of town. I was a youngster at the time. However, I whole heartedly agreed. ❤

Grew up in the 60's and 70's and it was wonderful...I became a teen in 1972 and it was by far the best decade for that imo...we had the best music and the sexiest girls to impress...no tattoos no piercings and all natural they were...no one likes getting older but I am lucky to have had the chance to be a child in the 60's and grew to be a man in the 70's I wouldn't change one thing if I had the choice to do it all over again...oh and by the way still married to the a girl I met in 1978.

I had a red western flyer bike in 74. I was all over the place...what a great time to be 11 and alive !

This is what the country needs now.

The 1st K-Mart store has been torn down. 😞

Being a child of the 60's and 70's was awsome when compared to what kids are subjected to today. I feel sorry for kids today, they are missing so many life lessons and experiences. But if you want to do training for becoming a slave, society is on the right track.

I didn't get Cool-Aid because my Mom was health conscious. I got Tang, just like the astronauts.

🤔Well, I did have a normal childhood!👍😎. 😊😊

K Mart was also in Canada. I miss them as well.

I`m 68 years old and I don`t think there ever was a better time to grow up than the 60`s and 70`s kids could pretty much do as they pleased and didn`t have too much worry about getting in trouble because in general we were better behaved

I'm a 66 year old dad of two grown daughters and the picture at 0:27 is just frightening! And yet, girls (and guys) everywhere did it without a second thought. Absolutely nobody hitchhikes any more. Has the world gotten incredibly more dangerous or are we all just more paranoid?

Technology is the primary reason why kids never really grow up the way they used to. Back in the old days kids needed to have responsibilities and they handled them quite well for the most part. This also included self-management.

Also you were out all day with no sunblock. Hmmmm!

that was great thanks

I'm 66 now. When I was seventeen, between my junior and senior year, me and a friend went to Panama City Beach, Florida during Spring Break and rented a room. Back then, they would let two seventeen year olds rent a room. I met a girl down there, sixteen, who was with her family at the same motel and we hung out all week and talked for a year after that, but I never actually saw her again. But when we were younger, we just roamed the neighborhood. I had a Schwinn Stingray.

I will be 62 in September- God willing and I sure do miss those days. Childhood was magical and every day was an adventure! This video choked me up. *sigh*

If you find a kid that rides a bike and he tries to jump a ramp , the bike would break in half because it is made in China now.

I’m 62 yrs old. Brought tears to my eyes. Made me remember all those good times. It was so much fun. As the video mentioned…we taught ourselves how to have fun. And how to figure things out. And yes…I had a schwinn sting ray. I remember the day my dad took me to our towns bicycle shop. I wanted the candy apple red sting ray so bad. My dad bought be a gold one. It was $6 cheaper than the candy apple one. I loved my bike and all the freedom and adventures me and my sting ray had.
