Re: On the Lighter Side of things.
Did Pennys have an auto department in the mid-'70's, repairs and sold performance parts?

HEY JEFF, our store was high tech. They had the same deal, only it was run with air.

Re: On the Lighter Side of things.
Don, that is some funny **** right there! Laughed so hard I stopped breathin' for a couple of minutes. My wife will be sending you the ER bill.
Jeff, I remember something similar. Only my recollection is of those vacuum tubes like bank drive-up windows use. Or maybe they still use those in big retail stores. We ain't got any here in the boondocks. Myron, you bet they did! I drove over to Salem to buy two pairs of slicks at JCP back in the early '70's. They worked pretty good too. One pair was 6&5/8ths wide with "cheater" grooves in 'em. I was told they were made by Kelly Springfield. Don, you realize the Writers Guild is on strike don't ya'? You could probably sell that stuff. I know that I'm never throwing out another catalog, that's for sure! |

What even worse is that in spite of those clothes the sexual revolution was at its peak in the seventies. The only thing I can figure is that the clothes were so horrific that people were willing to do anything or anyone to get out of them. |

Re: On the Lighter Side of things.
Hey, I graduated from high school in 1977............... What the heck were we thinking???? I think I tossed my leisure suit years ago. Those wide collered silk shirts were way cool. I may have some of those around still. The wife may have tossed those........

Re: On the Lighter Side of things.
That's great! My buddies and I always lived in wore out rental houses while going to college (graduated in '04) and the last one I was in had that exact dining table set! It was too heavy for the previous tennents to move...lol I bet each of the chairs weighed 40-50lbs a piece. The table had a top you could put on it to play poker.
Ahh memories.... |
