Yessss! The candy lady, the neighborhood babysitter, playing outside until the street lights came on, games of dodge ball, hopscotch, and jumping double Dutch. BEST DAYS EVER!! 😃
I miss the candy lady she had everything. Lol, even for adults. 😂😂😂
Ahh! The days. The preacher downstairs use to watch us with integrity after school,until mom got off work, back in the day. We loved him. We babysat us in the 90s but it's like today. Can't do that anymore. Paperchecks✅ $1.00 got you 8 snacks at the corner store. I miss the random guy who came to the apartments and happily throwing up the kids high up in the air and not dropping us but catching us. ( We wore him out) 😅 I miss the fight in the apts, watching through the screen window in the projects.😊 I miss free books at the school fair and free donuts and a caring school community if you didn't have it at home. 😭
...cheers, kickball, hide and go seek, marbles. So much to do that didn't cost a dime, lol.
Candy lady or lilly-dilly lady and the ice cream truck. Friday fishfrys. Going to the beach or the park. All that. Just good times and good vibes.
My grandma was the candy lady for a couple of years. And we stayed playing double Dutch, skating, Chinese jump rope, and riding bikes.
I remember going somewhere and taking pictures then having to take them to the pharmacy to have them developed AND see if they turn out. 😂😂😂😂 Love it. 80’s kid here!!!
When hour photo came, you couldn't tell me isht! I shopped buying bullisht, waiting on them pics.😂
And you get that pic or pics that came out way better than you thought? I’m going back with you.
Or when you remember one of those pics is of your butt so you NEVER got them developed bc it was a small town, you were underaged, and the store clerks would probably go to jail for child pornography
Photo hut
Yes!!! I remember all of that. We had one phone in the house with an extra long cord that could go through the whole house. I remember making a cassette tapes off of live radio hoping the DJ didn’t talk during your song!😂😂 Drinking out the water hose because you didn’t want to go in the house. You’re either IN or OUT!!! 😂😂😂 Good Times
Girl not the DJ talking!! Made me so mad hahah
Yes especially when the quiet storm mix came on
@@CHANNY-fm9tn The quiet storm mix ❤😂🥰. Aww man. I was born in ‘87 but I remember the tapes I used to make during the quiet storms mix of 90’s music!!
@@jmcbride747 hahah!!! Yes, the quiet storm. You know you had it bad when you dedicated a song to someone and waited to see if the DJ would announce it.. 😂😂😂 that’s a throw back frfr.
stopping and starting the cassett recorder or 8trak to get words to songs.....mannnnn!!!! THE GOOD OL DAYSSSSS!!!!!
I was born in 70s and grew up in 80s I would definitely go back to the 80s
Me, too.born in 1979
@@rochellethundercloud346 I was graduating high school and ready for college. I loved going to college in the 80’s. The music was awesome!
Yes indeed, 1970, February
Same here, I was born in 1973. I would definitely go back. Fun times!!
Same!!
Born in the 80's...I miss cabbage patch dolls, easy bake ovens, barbie dolls, climbing trees and making mud pies! 😂😂😂
OMG! Do you remember when cabbage patch kids were such a big deal that people started stealing them or taking them out of other people’s trunk? Each doll came with a birth certificate 😊
Easy-bake ovens. 🥹 #Memories
Mud pies. I spent hours doing that in my grandma's front yard. 😊
Climbing trees. Oh manI used to climb to see how high I could get, then I got scared
Yesss, to all of those. And waiting for that rare time that a Charlie Brown special was coming on or playing double dutch.😁
My mom has been the "Candy Lady" in the neighborhood since l was a kid. The front side of our home was a mini store that she operated when she got off work from her regular job. She's an 86-year-old retiree and still sells. Most of the kids have grown up and moved away but their parents still make a daily run for Coca-Cola and grape bubble gum. 😄
That’s so cool!
I love this soooo much! Nobody like the candy lady!
So sweet!
Love this!!!❤
That's Awesome!
Yes to all of this. I remember Jheri Curls, drinking from the water hose, eating bologna sandwiches that stuck to the roof of your mouth, and when Hip Hop was real. I miss the 80's.
Girl,tell me that fried bologna stuck,I mean Stuck😂😂😂
I was born in the 70s so I remember the 80s. No one else ever remembers Kids Inc!!!!! Thank you!🤣
Kids Inc. was the SHIT!!!
Yes K.I.D.S. Kids Incorporated, we're gonna have fun! 😂
"Kids incorporated, K-I-D-S YES!"
I do!!
@ButterCookie aayeeee!!!❤❤❤ that was my favorite show! Do yall remember that's where Fergie was discovered from?!?!? Yall remember Fergie right? Black eyed peas?
A French roll with spiral curls. My mama loved that hairstyle. Which means I had to wear it. That lady had me looking like I should be carrying an attaché case instead of a bookbag! My favorite hairstyle was a wrap. Late 80's early 90's in elementary school I thought I was so fresh when my mama would take the wide tooth comb and comb my wrap out in the morning. But when my brother wasn't with a girl who did hair, I was wearing a gelled back ponytail. The black gel! 😂😂😂
Oooooh the french roll with the ring curls!! And yes, the wrap made you feel FABULOUS.
@@ButterCookie1984 wraps were MAGICAL! When you come from under the dryer and then they put that special grease/oil (or whatever it was. was it Oasis?) in your hair. Baybaaaaaay
@@LunchboxLex YES!! With the fresh re-touch Baaaabyyyy.
@@ButterCookie1984 👸🏾
Not an attache case....😂😂😂
In the 80s I wore my Grace Jones fade to work, and folks thought I lost my mind. My first paycheck went straight to Radio Shack and bought a boom box with detachable speakers to listen to Thriller and Private Dancer cassettes.
"All in the same grade, poor" EJ, you ain't never lied. Thank you for taking us down memory lane. ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes. Playing double dutch and hide and seek outside with no worries. No bills.
Yessss!
And you better not be double handed 😩
And doing pop ups in the rope. 😊
Yes!!!! Double Dutch every recess!😂😂😂😂 I miss those days.
Yesss come thru with double Dutch! And months of year! You jump in on your birthday 🥳. Tag you it
@@keedybaby9243 Yasss!!!!! I forgot about that!🤣🤣🤣
I remember all of that, too, EJ! Bicycles! One tv! Blockbuster! Lock ins. Skating rinks. Bowling alleys. Theme parks. Arcades. The Mall. The cool cup lady in the neighborhood. Yesssss
Skating rinks and the mall yesssss
Would love to do the 70s.
OH EM GEEEEEE LOCK INS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BABYYYYYYY I remember that at the church for the youth ministry 🤣🤣🤣
Lock in and the Skating Rink
Them Lock ins was where it was at 😂❤!!! Ooo Wee did we have fun .
YES! Most definitely!! Grade school years!! Trapper keepers, slouch socks, New Edition's 1st album, the best black family sitcoms, getting in trouble for selling candy at school (my daddy pimped us out😂😂)
I had New Edition’s album cover on my wall right next to the poster from Right On 🤣🤣
Don't forget the jelly shoes
@@yanichambers9900 OMG! I forgot about Right On!!🤗🥰
@@kizzy1229 YAAAASSSS!!
Still got my NE tapes. YUP cassette tapes
When you said Kids Incorporated I almost cried. Growing up in the late 80s early 90s was THE BEST time! Can we talk about kickball, putting dirt on your cuts so you could keep playing, square shooters, and climbing trees?!
Kids Incorporated was ok but Schoolhouse Rock was MY SHYT!
@velvetrose7729 Same! I own the whole set. You remember the intro for when it came on tv?
@@ImHaZelBreeZe “ As you body grows bigger, your mind grows flower, it’s great to learn..cause knowledge Is power. School House Rocky, the chip off the block, of your favorite school house. School House Rock!
@NostalgiaJ OMG yes!!!! And I know you hit the high note at the end! 😄😄😄
We had a frozen cup lady in our neighborhood. She sold red kool-aid in small paper cups that were frozen. They were, to me, way better than a popsicle and sweet. During the heat and humidity that was summer in Florida it was a good cool and refreshing treat. Also ice cream trucks sold the Blue Bunny red, blue and white bomb pop. And they also sold orange Creamsicles and drumstick waffle cones. We also played kickball. And I picked wildflowers. We also had honeysuckle that grew on the fence between my house and the neighbors house. It had the most beautiful and relaxing scent. My childhood wasn't perfect but it had those good moments.
Ah yes ,me too.
I would “run away” from home on my bike. 😂 literally just back and forth in front of my house on the block because I wasn’t allowed to leave the block. All because I didn’t want peas with dinner.
Omg, we must be related because I was not eating those little green peas for nothing!! My brother dragged me home so many times from the end of the street because I couldn’t cross or leave the block but yet I was running away!😂😂
Me tooooo!!! Hated. Peas. Couldn't get my chicken OR Kool-aid until the peas were gone🤦🏾♀️😄
😂😂😂
I would love to go back to the 80s!!! Life was sweet and simple. People helped each other from the kindness of their heart. The youth were extremely important to society. Baby, I had free breakfast and lunch every summer. I didn't even realize we were poor. The community made sure children didn't miss a meal. EJ I can go on and on about the 80s.
Don't leave out them paper food stamps, that helped a single, working Mama help with provisions for her kids.
Not ABUSING the system by living off of it, but using it until her income from her job would suffice, 3 or 4 years, not 30 or 40 years❤❤
Exactly!❤
@@DJ-XquiZite Truth!!!
Yes in a heartbeat. No bills, fun, great tv, great music, no worries. 80s everytime!
Listen... them co'ner sto' trips was Hittin! If you didn't have a candy lady, in your neighborhood, you had a corner store. It was something about buying Wacky Wafers, Smartfood popcorn, a garlic pickle, and a slushed-up Jungle Juice, for, like, $2... that just hits me in a way that only the elite 80s babies can understand. Those were a Time, and I miss it
Them red cartons that Jungle Juice came in . Damn I miss them days.
I don't remember Smart pop at the corner store in the 80s🤔
I don't know about Smart Pop, either, @@tamarastone141. Honestly, I'm not sure I've ever eaten it
Me, too, @@Tyme_flies! Carton Jungle Juice was the Best! That Jungle Punch in the bottle could Never compare to what We drank
Jungle juice!! Oh how I miss that!
I was born in 85 but honestly, I feel as if I should have been born in 1965 so I can live my early 20s in the mid eighties. The music was better, I love the fashion, people were better. A beautiful coworker of mine was born in 65 and I'm so jealous of her! Lol, I know I'm weird. 😂
I know exactly what you mean. I was born in December of 1960 and the 80s is when I was in college. The music was great and we still had the stars of the 60s and 70s making awesome music. I want a week to spend in the 80s!
You’re not weird, you just have great taste:) It was an amazing time to come of age. I would not trade the experience for anything.
I was born in the early 90s and often wish I could go back and experience the 90s as an adult.
No, you're not weird at all...I was born in 85 as well, I'm right there with you and the FOMO😂😂😂
Born in 1966; being in my 20s in the 80s was 🔥🔥🔥
Born 1970. Got to live my pre-teen, teen, and young “adult” teen years all in the 80s…Nothing like the 80s!! Best decade! ✊🏾
Born in 60s,grew up in 70s.
The cereal boxes that had actual records on the back.😢
I forgot about that! Wow, thanks for this cool memory. I was born in ‘63; grew up in the 70’s; started college in ‘81. ‘80’s had the BEST music.
Send me back. The late 80s were fun. Friday night football games, Saturdays hanging out after you cleaned the house and Sunday night skating. But you had to go to church or don’t even ask.
I was an 80s teen, my grandparents were alive and I started college in the late 80s. I had such fun times and I would go back in a heartbeat!!
Kids don't know what fun is now but I can remember hanging out with my friends for real not in a group chat
I was born in the 50s, grew up in the 60s, and graduated in the 70s. The only thing I wish I could truly change is the fact that I was a sure fire hot mama. Being raised by a mama only 15 years older than me, I got away with stuff I shouldn't have had an ideal existed until I was well into my 20s. Praise God for deliverance.
I too was born in the 50's and graduated in the 70's. You and I traveled different paths but I sure would love to have a do-over. And yes, praise God for getting me through those latter years!
I also was born in the 50’s, raised in the 60’s and graduated in the 70’s. It was a beautiful and magical time. Playing with friends in the school yard, walking to school with friends and enjoying life as a child and young adult. The 70’s came and the music 🎶 was the best. Attending concerts with 3 or more performers for $40.00. What more could Easley for? They were the best of times!❤
EJ! Love your channel so much! I miss the 80s. Everything was easy, nice, people nicer, we were carefree...family oriented .
I just moved into an apartment with a beige formica wall unit. It is so 80s and I love it. Double Dutch and splitting an ice popsicle with my friend. Thank God for good times.
I wasn’t born until 2000, but I would loveee to go back to the 80s/90s. Simply put, most people in my generation (at least the ones that are largely represented) are stupid. 😬 To be able to see Whitney perform live even once would be all I ever needed.
I saw Whitney perform at Jones Beach Thtre (NY) promoting her first album. Her sound then was very pop so I wasn’t a huge fan. During that concert she belted out a gospel song acapella…😮🤯 Every hair on my body stood straight up! Been on team Whitney ever since ❤🌹 xo Belle
I met Whitney in London UK in a record store in 1998 for a signing she sang a gospel song as well. It was like an Angel came down from heaven. Pure bliss, never heard anything like it in my life. I grew up in the 90s and loved the 90s
Quite a few of us were stupid back then too, trust me. It was just never broadcast on the worldwide web for the rest of the world to see, lol...
you would have loved it. much more chill times for sure.
Born in 85 and I think about this all the time. I feel blessed to have been able to have experienced that era. I remember a little bit of the 80s. I have nostalgia over it. Acid washed jeans, colorful clothes, watching Jem, Transformers, Gummy Bears, Sesame Street, (old school of course), loving NKOTB because my babysitters and schoolmates were obsessed with them, watching Coming to America for the first time (not knowing I would watch that movie countless times for the rest of my life), long-bodied cars, piggy banks, walking to the park with my mom, the music was everything, neon lights, arcades, super tall high top fades, eating at Subway when they used to have the wallpaper of the maps of NY’s subway system and the old images of people from the early 1900s, graffiti everywhere, record players, rotary dial phones, 25 cent pay phones with private booths- yeah I remember my fair change chunk of it. Lol Now the 90s was my hay day! I just miss the simplicity of it all. When technology was just something cool to have but not a necessity. We interacted more with each other back then. Life was real.
Born in the 70s, grew up in the 80s. Had a huge afro at age 1. Lol! Being excited about getting my first VCR, skating rinks, having a corded phone, no caller ID or voice mail, waiting all week for your favorite show to come on, playing outside like it was my job. 🤣
I'm an 80's Baby 90's teen as well, but I would go back I had a good time. I remember when you had to call and order the Disney Channel. MTV actually had music videos. Kids Incorporated with a young Fergie and Jennifer Love Hewitt, Zoobily Zoo, Reading Rainbow. For me it was the roller rink that the kids went to. Yes, Ice Cream Trucks! Yup I remember when my mom put my hair in a french roll for a picture. Let me tell you, I felt sophisticated. McDonald hamburgers and cheeseburgers were 69 and 89 cents. I kind of feel bad for the kids coming up now cause they don't really have nothing that nostalgic like the generations before them.
Zoobilly Zoo!!! 😍😍
I would go back to the 1960s when I was a little girl. Sometimes the drama created by today's technology is too much. So much was better: TV (no cable or streaming), better food, music, etc. I was a teen during the 1970s, and that decade was cool as well; I'd spend a day there.
Watching Saturday morning cartoons with a big bowl of Apple Jacks was lit! My favorite was Bugs Bunny, Thunder Cats and He-Man. Who remembers Jem? Omg! So many memories from growing up in the 80’s.
Yaaaaaassssssss!!!!!
Jem was my favorite!!!
I grew up in the 60s and going back to the 80s would be great! I'd buy Apple and Intel stock and live like a queen now! I remember more about the 60s than I remember what happened a few years back. Drive in movies that we'd wear our PJs to; visiting my grandma's house who had an outhouse; going to the lake with my family and buying candy cigarettes and candy lipstick at the snack hut; over hearing my parents fight trying to put toys together on Christmas eve; and sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night to maraud the neighborhood. Kids have it so much worse than the free-roaming children we were.
Absolutely! I loved PJs at drive in theaters on warm summer nights. You had to hang the speaker on your car window lol.. Also got 3 movies for the price of 1..My dad had a pickup with the camper on the back and would sneak us kids in lol! Omg, the good times..✌️♥️
I would go definitely go back! I was born in the 70’s raised in the ‘80’s. Breakdancing, rec center, jolly ranchers and pickles from the butcher shop! Taco Lights from Taco Bell’s and I was and still am obsessed with novelty socks!
We did have rec centers. Fun times!!! That explains what's wrong this generation. Although if they had them they would need computers and WiFi. We may have had a computer but you couldn't do anything on it except type a note or play space invaders, the screen was green.
Novelty socks😌☺️✨🥰
We called Jolly Ranchers wine candy, lol😂
Breakdance the movie 😍👌🏾
Bell burgers from Taco Bell 😁♥️😎
Was born in the 60's and at times I do miss the 80's when my kids were little. I would go back for a day in a heartbeat as long as I could pick the day.
Kids, Incorporated... K. I. D. S!!!! Yes!!!! and Jelly Bracelets and Jelly Sandals, Candy Necklaces and Candy Cigarettes... TV that you had to GET UP to turn the channel. Running to the bathroom during a commercial break... DVR was a VCR set on a timer... READING RAINBOW!!! Miss my 80s
The hard candy cigarettes or the bubblegum ones with the powdered sugar "smoke"? 😂
@LeiLei51 that's right... with only one good puff before you break your teeth trying to chew it into bubblegum.
Omg! Walking to the corner store...hopscotch on the side walking. Learning how to skate with the four wheels with a pillow strapped to my butt! The ruffle socks! The penny candy!! Times were soooo different! Miss those days!❤😊
Yes Lisa Turtle’s hair and Holly Robinson Peete’s (21 Jumpstreet) had me in a chokehold with their curls! I would beg my beautician to get my hair like that. So when straw curls came out you could tell me nothin’! Lol 😂
Well, as a grown grown woman, I was in the military and I would love to go back and make a few different decisions. Boy oh boy, yeah!!
Same!
I remember my aunts and uncles playing Rick JAMES ALBUMS LOUD AS HELL ON ONE OF THOSE OLD WOOD STEREO CABINETS FROM THE 80'S.
I knew a few people with those old wood stereo cabinets
I remember hearing dog catcher and wondering what all that panting was about?? Like why is this person breathing so hard ??😭
I loved the 80s because I was in college and I felt grown without all the responsibilities. I went to a local college which meant I was still at home but I was grown enough without having to get permission to go out with friends at Houlihan’s pub or a day trip to Atlanta. Kool & the Gang, Lionel Richie, Wham!, everything Michael Jackson and Prince, Mister Mister and Billy Joel. I would definitely go back but I want a week! 🎼Joanna I love you! You’re the one, the one for me. Ooh yeah!!! 🎶🪩
Facts, feel music was banging back then
HELL YES! I would **love** to go back to the 80s. If only to get my hands on my Garbage Pail Kids cards and kick my own ass for buying them in English class 🤣😂
Garbage Pail kids were hot.
@@chrism9294 yep even got sent to the principal’s office only to get accused of using acid 😳 I was 11…
Every generation says its not the same but I do think the internet has been the greatest shift to the planet ever. It have revolutionized so much that I look at pictures from the 80s like its the 50s. LOL. I didn't think we were poor but I guess we were..LOL. We definitely have fun and felt safe. You didn't worry about getting shot in school. You always had ppl in the neighborhood looking out for you. Candy chip sodas was super cheap. The ice cream man came everyday in the summer. You could ride your bike or skates everyday. I enjoyed my childhood and would definitely go back.
Late 70’s and 80’s best years of my life. We were not poor, neither rich but parents alway cooked every day except Friday’s when we ate fast foods of choice. I enjoyed the candy lady(my grandmother) and every snacks available. Playing kick ball, jump rope, hide go see, etc. smiling just reflecting
Born 71, so I’m absolutely and 80’s girl and I would go back to like 80-84 in a heartbeat! I’d see my precious momma and daddy and that would be worth it all! The 80’s were and forever will be the best decade ever!!!
🙌♥️🙏
I remember families used to get together 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 and really wanted to see each other also call each other even from pay phones. Now it’s lawd I wish I had my mask 😷 when I see them so they won’t see me. 🤣 This goes for friends etc.
Ohhh..back down memory lane. Yes, I remember all of that. My favorite part of growing up in the 80's was family. We ate dinner together during the week, and Sunday morning breakfast was a mandate. Waiting to see which family member forgot the words to The Lords Prayer. 🤣🤣
I would go back just to ride my Cabbage Patch big wheel with the carriage for my doll, down the hill and then lift the brake to do a wheelie AND OF COURSE 80'S FASHION!!!!
Yes the 80's were the best times of my life I was born in 69 and if I could go back and change a few things I would
I'm a 69 baby too! We had THEE best times!
70 here👋
@@LeiLei51 yes we did
For one day, yes. Bikes were EVERYTHING! Good times. 😎
I would love to go back. Used to be able to get a big bag of candy for less than a dollar - the good candy!! Riding my bike with friends all day!!!
Whew EJ! Thank you for this trip down memory lane! Chile I remember everything you mentioned. I would definitely go back to the 80's and the 90's where we had the cool cup lady, the snack lady and the candy lady all in one neighborhood. We had bikes, wrote notes, walked to school in a group, had walkmans and cassette tapes! Oh I can't forget 99¢ gas. My mama use to say that was expensive! Those were the days! 💜🙌🏾
Yes ma'am! my waist line was 24 inches😂
"If you had a french roll...you were a LAADDY". I remember having my hair hot combed & getting my first french roll. I was brand new...couldn't tell me a thing 😂🥲 The memories
I’m pretty sure the 80s was the only time I wasn’t depressed…and I was born in ‘88.
That’s really sad. I hope you can find help and healing! ❤
🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
I was born in the 60’s and grew up in the 70’s. But yes, I would go back to the 80’s.
Girl sometimes I wonder if I just romanticize the 90s or if they were really that good. And yes they were really that good!!
I would love to go back to the 80's ❤ My first year of high school 1980!!!!! The music, the clubs, everything in DC ❤❤ except the drug situation😏
Kalorama skating rink!!💜
😂😂😂 @ 1:02 that shoulder shimmy for Lisa 🙌🏾🥰😂
🗣 COME ON SHOULDERS 😂
I loved Lisa's fashion sense, but I wanted Kelly's ease of getting guys, but Jessie's Brain! She was so SMART! Then Tori came along with the motorcycle and I loved that she was so good with fixing things.
YES INDEED 😂🙌🏾
It was the lady that sold the hardcups in my project complex! I think other people in other neighborhoods called them ices or something. It was frozen Kool-Aid in the styrofoam cups and you turn them inside out. I think they were like $0.15. And does anybody else remember wise potato chips?
The coldest water was from the hose but you had to let it run for a few seconds to make sure ups and spiders were out before you drank. The permanent clothes line in the back yard. Detecting the sound of the ice cream truck from a mile away and being mad because you didn’t have enough money for what you wanted. The freeze cup lady and penny candy lady who also had can soda. You sure can’t just go up to someone’s door now…. Good times! Things seemed so innocent.
I came of age in the 70’s in Detroit and I could write a book of memories! I really miss those days of innocence. The highlight of our summer was going to Bob-Lo Island which was an amusement park in Canada. Riding the big boat, eating popcorn and shaking hands with Captain Bob-Lo. Needless to say, when the Jackson Five came on the scene, I was in love 🥰 . There’s so much more to share and too little space. I enjoyed your memories EJ.
I'm an early 90s kid, and the amount of existential crises I've had this year is absurd being reminded that I've been around for 30 years😆😭
I would go back to the 80's only if I could change some things up.....and talk to my old self.
As an 87 baby, I ain’t too sure about all of it lol. But I would happily take some of the best elements of the 80s and swap those with the crappier parts of today lol.
I grew up in the 60's. Good times back then. I remember my dad would go to the pharmacy to get a prescription filled, and put it on his bill. Don't think Walgreen's would allow that now! LOL
I grew up in the 60’s too! I lived in the « D » Detroit! Walked to the corner store everyday! Went to the local park with my friends or alone. Played outside all summer. Didn’t come in till it got dark outside. Drank my fill of Nugrape Soda pop, ate Better Made potato chips, Cracker Jacks, Bit’ o Honey and Sugar Daddy Lollipops! Not to mention, played games, climbed trees, rode roller skates, jumped jump rope, twirled with hula hoops, bounced paddle ball and wore the original Keds canvas sneakers! Pure, wholesome living back then!
YES!!! I totally remember Kids Incorporated, and that triggered my memory to remember Rags to Riches with Tisha Campbell! I used to live in the projects so everybody didn't have a bike BUT we as a community would let those that didn't have a ride around the block, but we also used to have skates (the girls anyway) and would hold on to the bike seats and race 😂😂😂... but we DID have that one little receiver in the back of the tv so you can play Atari or watch HBO or WHT (in NY).
Paper food stamps and "no frills" food everything was in black and white...
*** YOU BETTA SANG THAT HOWARD THE DUCK***
I remember that movie!
I was born in the 80s but my childhood was in the 90s. I remember all of that, my childhood was so fun, I feel bad for my son because he will never know a childhood like that.
Yes, facts 💯
Same!! I have 2 boys and they both watch all the shows I used to watch as a child in the 90’s. I think they would have loved being a kid in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s just not the same today.
@NES true 😂
Yeah my kids don't watch a lot of cartoons or go on outside adventures, but they're childhood is still hella fun. They do a lot..😅
I too am a 80s baby and remember the latter 80s .. GIRL when you said Kids Incorporated I said “ K I D S ..YESSS!!” That was my show!😂
EJ, just point me to the nearest time machine!!!🤣💛💛 I'd hug my parents TWICE as hard for giving me THE BEST childhood EVER!!
I also remember kids not going hungry because people would bring lunches to the hood...those were the days ❤
The question is not would I go back, for me..the question is how soon could I go back!?? The 80s were an awesome decade! I’d go back and never leave!🎉🎉🎉
When your dad grew vegetables,raise pigs,and shared with the neighborhood! I miy those days
OMG yes the calculators at Walmart!! And the candy store was in Miss Bessie’s basement and she had a half door lol. Lawdt I’m walking down memory lane💜 Babay when I tell you I would go back in a heartbeat!! Thank you for reminding me of how good it was “back in the day”
I was born in '76. Pickles, freeze cups, penny cookies gum & candy...that was the LIFE...on my pink and purple Sweet Style 10 speed!
Okay this had me going to down memory lane when we used to go to the candy lady's house and get wine candy, chiko sticks, now and laters and them big pickles in the plastic bags. She could have been doing all kinds of stuff to that candy and we would have never known cause you go to her house with a dollar you leave out of there feeling like a king or queen with all the stuff you just bought!
Yes I would go back! Not only for the nostalgia but also to see my brother & my grandma who have both passed on. The 80's was definitely a time to be alive.
I'm an 80's baby and vacation bible school was so fun. Just to be away from the parents was a treat lol.
80s child here! The candy lady, the candy apple lady, just being outside with your friends. Playing “Mother May I”, Red Rover, Red light/Green light! Being able to ride your bikes through the neighborhood without supervision. Curfew being when the street lights came on.
Loved this!
I remember all that!
How bout goin to your friends house (bc they were lucky to have the trampoline lol), jumped all day in the hot sun with a sprinkler and dish soap all over that trampoline! Enclosed? A net?! Never heard of that lol
Yep! Reading rainbow, 321 contact, wrestling on Fridays with Gordon Solie, Jungle juice, old tape recorders with the red record button, cassettes and walkman, frayco (snow cones) monster size shoulder pads and those little round leather hats that Eddie Murphy would wear. The best fashion and loads of fun.
It's this color for me! I swear, EJ got that complexion that can pull off some beautiful hues of hair, honey...
I missed the 80's, born in 70's and grew up in 80's which were the best years of coming to age stuff. The significance was somethings you just had to wait for, and you appreciated it once you've experienced it.
Yes I would. I was born in the 50s. My parents were alive back then and I miss them.
YES, before the internet, when there was real food and quality TV, more people having values/morals, common sense and knowing how to keep their business to themselves!
I graduated high school in 84’… I would definitely go back
Riding my bike up and down our long driveway while my brother was booming Maze in his Cutlass while washing it, a safe corner store, penny candies, jungle juice, both parents alive and together and married, house of love, vcr, etc. Back down memory lane😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍 I was born in 76!
I graduated from high school in the early 80's and you had the same experiences as I had as a kid growing up in the 70s and early 80s.
Such sweet memories! I grew up in the 60's - silver tinsel Christmas tree with the hot color wheel, street light signal to come in, portable record player, Chatty Cathy doll, jacks, jump rope, skating, bike with the banana seat, pick your own switch for punishment, putting Blue/Green Chip stamps in the book on Saturday mornings with Dad, fish market, butcher shop, beauty salon with Mom..those were the days!!
Yes! Bring in the Time Machine now!
Same here. Remembering all of that. Add learning how to jump rope with a phone cord, playing outside ALL DAY, and watching TGIF every Friday night. I miss the mall especially at Christmas time.
Girrrl….. I just love you! You took me back. I loved…. everything you said and I can definitely relate. Talk about the good ole days!!!
You LITERALLY described my entire childhood! Right down to the one TV that my mom controlled and the Easter Speech! Oh to go BACK!!! Simpler times!
I ain't gon' lie, in my hometown, bills are still paid at the Piggly Wiggly! And you still go to the light bill place and pay through the little outside window. You know the kind where the lady pushes out the little drawer thing and pulls it back in. So basically my hometown is still a little in the 80s. And we're not ashamed.😂
-Prince (ketchup chips, I need those)
-Zena the warrior princess
-Sailor Moon
-penny candy store where candy was actually a penny ( lipstick candy, my favorite 😍)
-my mom made my dresses
-we would go to the store with a note for cigarettes for my parents
- Bradley’s
-Ames
Yes, knowing and seeing what I know and see now I do miss the 80’s
I want to go back to the 70's---love it!!!
I do too, and I wasn’t even born yet lol. I would love to see the 70’s.
Our house only had a TV in the den and/or the basement (Daddy's space). Sidenote: I still only have ONE TV and it's Not in my bedroom. I sleep better without it.
Lived in Detroit and would turn in bags and bags of cans and bottles at the corner store for pocket money (10 cent a can or bottle).
I would definitely GO BACK 😊
EJ girl this video was everything 👏🏽to 👏🏽 me👏🏽 Imma need you to do another one 💜
Just this afternoon I told my partner how grateful I am that I grew up riding a bicycle before kiddie helmets became a thing. Yeah, yeah, safety... Got it. I'm jus' sayin' looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy - there was no way!
