The white igloo was "The Igloo" on Douglas and Monroe.
The "Zips" were yellow I think. There was one near Whitmer.
Baseball cap sundaes.
You could use the brim as an overflow.
Seriously... kids that weren't "jocks" still had basketball hoops, baseball gear, every imagineable sport accessory. (I mean, even a tennis raquet.)
I'll bet that we put 50 miles a day on our bikes.
Even the cool toys were really sports. I mean, come on. My first taste of speed was at 4 years old on a Big Wheel. Seemed like 50mph.
I would pedal that sob like there was no tomorrow and throw it into a J turn with that brake. Those poor tires.
Knock knock.
What? A blacktop driveway down the street has a light sheen of rain on it?

Remember when you had to stick a roll of film in your camera, spool it back up when it's finished, drive to a lab and drop it off, wait a few days, pick it up, pay for it, stick it in an envelope and mail it to a friend.

Console stereos. Half stereo, half buffet.
Atari 2600 was the sht!
Tank Battle.
There weren't warning labels on everything. You phucked up, you got hurt. You're an idiot, you got really hurt.
It was called natural selection.
You didn't sue, sht happens - you live with it.
DOS. Batch files. Pascal. Fortran. Basic. No point and click!
Modems...Baud. 5-1/4 floppys. Tape drives.
C Root Baby.
