TotallyOz Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 >My favorite memory of the 60's was puberty. My favorite memory of the 60's was the terrible twos. I was only a young lad when Elvis died, but I remember everything about that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 Is it just me or is it the truth... It seems that more happened during the 60's than any other decade since. ... than all other decades since (almost). I have to confess that I lump the first few years of the 70's in with the 60's because Viet Nam was such an overshadowing event spanning the two decades. Maybe this seems true to me because it was such a ground-shifting event-rich decade that coincided with my 'Coming of Age'. Of course, this is only for those who remember the 60's from a height exceeding cabinet level. :+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SouthernMan Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 That was the prime grade big boy's prices aka Esso (yes Esso not Exxon), Shell and ARCO (wow, remember them???). When I was in college during the late 60's/early 70's, I was a gas jockey and the price at our stations was 26 cents a gallon! Of course I worked for a company called, and I kid you not, HOMOCO!!! :7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barry Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 And I remember pleading with my parents for "gas money" because it was so damn expensive. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TampaYankee Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 I recall them all, even HOMOCO. I also recall Standard, Pure, and Sunoco. Cars wouldn't run on regular gas. That was for lawnmowers, oh and the chevette which sounded more like a washing machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jackhammer91406 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 As a senior in high school, I could buy a gallon of gas ($.30) and a pack of cigarettes ($.30) at the Clark gas station and still have money for a McDonalds burger, fries and coke with change.
