    Post your favorite things from the 70's

    Burger Chef

    Here is the place my dad took me every THursday night while my mom played bridge with the girls(another 70's activity?). I had all the floppy records, the hand puppets, movie tie-ins (King Kong glasses andd Star Wars posters) and, from what I remember the food was pretty awesome too. YOu think there's been a slight bit of inflation in the burger biz?





    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

    Laying in my bed and listening to Power Records was fun.

        I loved the meal trays at Burger Chef (and Jeff!), & the "burger bar" was so exciting as a kid.

        But my favorite '70s things? Batman66 & Star trek re-runs, SMDM, Saturday cartoons in the a.m. & the local creature-features after (Super-Host!!!), and Arthur Treachers. Ahhh, the memories.
        WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                The 70s were all about Kiss, Farrah, Happy Days, the Six Million Dollar Man, Marvel Comics and Megos for me...

                  My childhood......best times of our lives, but we fail to see it until it's gone.....honestly my favorite thing was being around my whole family, some who have passed, some who have just left....I'll never forget those days.

                  I tell my six year old about them all the time.

                  Also remember going into Zares, Caldor, and KMart and seeing all those megos...not to mention the dime stores and seeing AHI Monsters for 3.00 hanging there....but who had 3.00 in 1976 or 1977?

                    Oh man, I think my head is gonna explode! You can't make me choose! But among my all time faves were David Cassidy, Sid & Marty Krofft (and other Saturday morning magic), Dynamite magazine, battery operated dolls, Evel Knievel/Derry Daring, my records, are old apartment, Ben Cooper costumes, skateboards w/ cool graphics (on top!), cement and metal play structures at the playground, Purple Passion Soda, my Toot-a-Loop radio, the big block party on my street every year, and Festival at my dad's job. Friday TV, Saturday night TV....

                    Man I could go on FOREVER!! Suffice it to say the 70s were THE BEST!!

                        Going to Kmart for a hamburger and possibly a toy when I was a kid. To me that was the best that could happen. I remember seeing pocket heroes hanging there and thinking how awesome they were. Man, really struggling with missing my folks lately.

                          Department stores being next to grocery stores. You could walk from one to the other. And you didn't mind going to the grocery store because you knew you'd go to the next door to the department store. Example,I remember Ames being next to Grand Union.
