When strippers were not allowed to go totally nude, can only strip down to G-string. Some girls wore loose knitting g strings that you could see the pussy lips.
A few pages from the programme of a concert I saw in New York on Jan. 1, 1970. Pretty good show lol

This is just one of many incredibly dangerous toys marketed to kids in the 60's. Who knows how many of them still have finger scars from checking to see if the open-faced heating element had reached its full temperature of almost 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
I really miss my chemistry sets from the 1950's. Somehow managed to not poison myself, burn myself, or blow up the house...
You understand what the little space is beside the side door, with a cover hatch inside and out - the milk chute, so the milk man could make his early morning deliveries.
And after glass bottles where phased out, and sometimes home delivery too, you would buy a gallon of milk in a squarish white plastic jug with a red handle.
And take it back for deposit credit to be refilled.
You begged mom for nickels to feed to the gumball machines just past the check out lines of the grocery store. And you listened when she would warn you only if you were good in the store sitting in or hanging onto the shopping cart.
Or, beg mom to buy the 6 or so round lolly pops with some sort of a Scottish girl on the waxed/plastic wrapper. The lollies were held together with a rubber band.
You remember when the butcher in the grocery store would wrap the meat you selected and tie it with a string and write the price on the paper with a wax pencil.
You can recall all coffee beans for use in the home percolator was bought in a foil bag, and ground in a machine in the store.
Drip coffee making was years in the future - Mr. Coffee was still in diapers back then.
And when going camping at a provincial park and you would stop at the ice shack to buy a block of ice that had been lake cut in the winter.
Bagged and then stored in layers of sawdust in a well insulated and heavily shaded building along side the main access road to sell in the summer to put in the campers ice box.
And be way up north and hang a long wire in a tree and tie it to your Sony portable radio antenna to be able to listen to CFRB 1010 AM to hear the noon news.
Or, actually the 11:50 news read by the venerable Gordon Sinclair.
Or if you had a fancy enough radio you switched to short wave and got the same feed on CFRX. Believe it or not that station is still doing that.
