You are so right. Very little civility anymore. And Integrity, forget it. We just had a President who told Lies wholesale for 4 years and almost half the population wanted him re-elected. Graciousness, Truthfulness, Honesty, Integrity, and associated virtues that citizens were once proud to be known for. Are sadly characteristics of previous generations.

I read just about all of her books when I was about 9 or 10 years old. The school librarian always helped me find the books. I also read all of Enid Blyton (another children's author) when I was a little girl. I still to this day, remember the children's librarian's name, Mrs. Carlisle to who I will always be grateful to for encouraging me to read and my love for the written word back in the 1960's in Canada.

Born in 48 and yes, learned to have and show respect to my elders, the value of truth and honesty, and how to act with manners. Wright and wrong were taught and respected and good and evil were well defined. I was raised to believe in fairness and this caused me problems as I grew up to learn that all people are not fair and many would take advantage of you if they could. I used to be somewhat unsettled about my increasing age and what follows as one reached that age where your body starts shutting down. I no longer dread this upcoming event as I am not too excited about living thru what evil is coming. I would be first in line at the travel machine to go back to the 50's!!

Yes we all know it’s a 54 Chevy… so, let it go. Don’t let it take away from the reason we’re watching.

I do enjoy watching these recollections... but just to fact check; the average home price in 1950 was $7300.00... not $1900.00 To put this in context, the average new car price was $2200.00. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks for the interesting content.

$1,950 for an house does not sound correct. I'd venture to guess the average house was closer to $10,000. I know average new homes built on southwest side of Chicago in 1956-57 was in the $16,000-$19,000 range.

The average house in 1950 was $1,950. Which means the average house price in 2021 should be $2.021.

Jackie Robinson's $35,000 for an entire season is about half of what Mike Trout earns each time he comes to bat.

35000 a year when a house cost 1500 is pretty good deal though. thats over 22 homes a year. so today at around 300,000 for a home its about 6 million a year.

Critics thought the film Cinderella would be a flop because "no adult would go to see a cartoon that's one hour and sixteen minutes long."

Like Paul said here, you've got the movies crossed, as Snow White (1939) was Hollywood's FIRST FEATURE LENGTH (over 1 hour) ANIMATED MOVIE and that was 11 YEARS BEFORE.
