ABOUT US

The good old days. It’s a phrase that’s often used to describe a time in the past when things were simpler, slower, and more wholesome. For many of us, the good old days are a time we look back on with fondness and nostalgia. It’s a time when we didn’t have to worry about the stresses of modern life, and things just seemed to be a little bit easier.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I remember a time when life was different. We didn’t have smartphones or social media, and we spent our free time playing outside with friends or watching TV shows like The Cosby Show or Family Matters. It was a time when we could ride our bikes around the neighborhood without fear of danger, and we could play outside until the streetlights came on.

One of my fondest memories of the good old days was going to the video store with my family on a Friday night. We would spend hours browsing the aisles, trying to decide which movie to rent for the weekend. It was a big decision, and we would debate the merits of each movie until we finally settled on one. Then we would take it home, pop some popcorn, and settle in for a cozy night of movie watching.

Another thing I remember about the good old days was the music. We didn’t have Spotify or Apple Music, but we had our trusty cassette tapes and CD players. We would spend hours listening to our favorite albums, memorizing the lyrics, and singing along at the top of our lungs. It was a time when music was more than just background noise, it was an integral part of our lives.

One of the things I miss most about the good old days is the sense of community. We knew our neighbors, and we looked out for each other. We would have block parties and BBQs, and everyone would come together to share food, stories, and laughter. It was a time when we felt connected to the people around us, and we knew that we could count on them if we needed help.

Of course, the good old days weren’t perfect. There were still problems and challenges, but it seemed like we were better equipped to deal with them. We had a sense of resilience and grit that seems to be missing in today’s world. We didn’t give up easily, and we didn’t expect things to be handed to us on a silver platter.
