I remember Hickory Farms, Swiss Colony, B Dalton Books, and Kinney Shoes. Then came Millers Outpost. Sees Candy was also in a lot of malls. Emporium Department Store competed with Macy's. Back then there was also help and service from store clerks, and the bag was free. Now everything is self serve, no service, and there is a bag fee. Jc Penney, Wards, and Sears also had catalogs back then too.

It's because the food back then was organic produce, meat, dairy, very little processed foods...nothing like we have today. And PE was a real thing back then too. Also, spent way more time outside, doing physical things, it was easy to keep weight off. When we eat more healthy foods, our bodies don't need to be fed constantly, since it's a absorbing the nutrients, and fiber, etc. I had to start back eating organic foods only, due to a health issue, and I've noticed I don't eat near as much as before, and feel much more satisfied. Yes, it's definitely pricey, but since you're not over eating, it's easier to fit in. Balances out. ❤🥂💃

It was such a wonderful time to be alive and it is absolutely true that EVERYTHING was better. I was 11 in 1978 so I've been aware of everything going on since then but I have no clue as to when/where/how things changed. Probably a combination of things that can never be reversed. I do think we were all happier then and you can see it on most of those people's faces in the video. Everyone in the video is socializing, talking, smiling and hanging out in groups, close to each other. Sure many people smoked and most cancers were a death sentence, but we seemed healthier as well. A grown man or woman could actually earn a living as a retail associate in a mall. My uncle was a bartender and my aunt was a homemaker but they could afford a modest home, car, etc. and travel a little. Same with my parents.

And in addition I'd be more than happy to leave every last dongle, screen, and bit of current technology here in the year 2024 as well as have a little eye-opening chat in 1978 with the future parents of Mark Zuckerberg as well as wih a few others.
