No you I have a lakers styled jersey still in great condition that has only been worn once from an Eminem and Rihanna concert from their The Monster Tour back in 2014 that says “SHADY” on the front and right underneath that it has the number 2 and on the back it says “MMLP2” with again the number 2 right underneath that. I’m not planning on ever selling it, but how much do you think something like that would be worth in let’s say 20 years? Maybe even 30 years? How high would the price go when Eminem dies? Just curious. Not planning on selling it, but it would be nice to know if things ever get desperate. .....I just got up to check it out. I smelled it to see if it still smelled clean after being put aware and untouched, as far as I’m aware, for years and it still smells brand new! It also kind of smells like a cologne I haven’t worn in a while. I wonder if I had that cologne on when first bought it and the smell is still on it😂😂 Good thing my cologne isn’t strong. I choose the cologne I use because it smells fresh and clean. Not too “cologne-y” if that makes sense. I wonder if that contributed to why the jersey still smells fresh. I’m not sure though if it is the cologne. Like I said I haven’t worn it in awhile and I kind of forgot what it smells like, and I think I first started wearing that cologne during that same year of that concert. I just don’t remember if it was before or after that concert I started wearing that cologne. Anyway, how do you think those things would effect the price? 20 years later? 30 years later? After Eminem dies? The fact that it still smells fresh and looks new and only worn once? I know you probably aren’t an expert on this, but I am curious what you think.

[@Homeboy_Brando]

No you No problem😂 And yeah I already do that. For almost as long as I can remember I’ve been putting cologne on like that. And thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it.

‘89 was kind of a bittersweet year for me. I was 24 and you could tell the era was coming to an end. You could already feel the scene starting to die and sadly so were a lot of other things in my personal life at the time. What a fun decade that was, though. I really, really miss it. Thanks for having the presence of mind to chronicle “a day in the life” from back then. Circumstances caused me to become separated from a lot of my own pictures and videos from that period so it’s cool to be able to walk down memory lane through someone else’s experiences.

I miss these McDonalds prices. A Big Mac was $1.65! I love how their mother wore kitten heels to a fast food restaurant. What a hit of dopamine straight to the heart. 💜 The fries were the best back then too when they fried them in beef talo. I would gladly pay to catch a ride back to the 80s/90s again any day. What a time to be alive! People looked put together in public, even if just running to the store. Everyone was friendly for the most part and much more social than we are today.

[@888strummer]

Large fries was $1.03 and large soda $1, so Big Mac large fries and soda was $3.78. Today it's like $12

The 70's for me, that was my time up until 1983 (when I graduated high school). Going to Mcee-Dees in the 70's was a real treat then. We (my brothers and Sisters all nine of us until my baby brother was born 1978) . We lived in a small Logging town in Idaho. (357 people at the time and that little town has not changed much today). McDonald's was 42 miles west of where we lived and Burger King 60 miles north. We. had one small mom & pop restaurant and five bars, you'd think one would be enough right. ( Got to make sure them loggers got good and drunk on Saturday nights). We also had one filling station one Mercantile store. Oh of course a little liqueur store too. One school from K to the 4th grade. 5th through 12th had to bus 17 miles to another small town for those grades (and still do today). Summers were filled with camping out in the park , woods and fishing at the reservoir (Mouse creek is what we called it) and ridding our bikes down old dust roads. One year after the last day of school a lot of us had a huge water balloon fight to celebrate the coming of summer vacation. I remember camping out in the backyard with my younger bother and sister. The night sky was so dark then you could see the entire Milky Way Galaxy, i would lay there wondering what was out there. Of course there weren't always good times, near the close of the seventies my parents divorced, myself my younger brother and sister had to go live with my dad some 600 miles away in Salem, Oregon. I did eventually move back to live with my mother to finish my High School years. Well that's a short history of my youth in small town America. What's yours.
