Hello All! You know my Boston department store blog...and now...another blog rises!
This one is more national and gives a feel for the retro stores and the things we bought and also other bits and bobs from newspapers way back when:)
My first theme....Back to School...and my first set of images comes from 1957 Bridgeport, CT. Some great stores there once upon a time and I shall use these stores in various themes often as I explore different years from the 50's to 70's.

Hello All!
My retro blog has a new update. Think TV 1962.
Mr. Ed was stomping around the stable to be sure....but Lucy came back in a new role, sort of...and it caused a bit of a stir. America was keen to have her back and these news articles and ads were run in the months leading up to the debut on 2 October 1962.
Enjoy!!!!

Hello All!
Update time on my Retro Times Blog:)
A little Halloween for you....if you like Halloween....have a few fond memories of it....drop in and have a peek at some newspaper adverts from the 1950's.
A simple and not too scary time and Halloween did not seem to come with so many warnings attached to it.

Enjoy!!!! More from the 1960's and 70's to follow!

Hello Retro Boston Blogger Fans...My update is one that is not in keeping with the lighter side I normally take...this update is one of Boston's darker times and I felt a need to reflect on it in my blog.
Please visit and let me know your thoughts as well.

Interesting story about Albert DeSalvo. Thanks.
 
Hello ablarc!

Thank you. I was not sure folks wanted to read about crimes that are almost 50 years old but with so much in doubt about the facts...it seems worth looking at again.

All the best....Charles
 
Hello Retro Loving Folks!
If you enjoy musicals...especially the older ones...then let's pay tribute to one that turned 45 this year...and it was a BIG hit!! A record breaker of the day circa 1960's...?? Have a guess...are you right?

Hello, All!!

Come and visit. Photos and articles to enjoy!

Hello, All!!!!

Today I have put together a look back at a "lost" theatre of Boston....The Plymouth...aka....The Gary.

Lots of great ads...articles...photos that cover 1911 to 1978...worth a look if you enjoy seeing what
Boston's theatre district had to offer at one time:)
