Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

The 1970's have been maligned for many reasons, but there are some things about the decade I will never forget. I am grateful I was born early enough that I had a chance to "cruise the boulevards" with friends during those summer Friday and Saturday nights. Now it seems like it would be so boring, but it was a blast.
That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

The 70s are mostly slammed by the people who tell us the world has been in decline since the Beatles broke up. F-ck those losers.
Truth is all the problems of the 70s were already there in the 60s, the solutions were just more poorly funded.
Both decades are overrated. The 60s weren't as good and the 70s weren't as bad.
Agreed. The pure number of Molly Ringwald movies speaks to that.

Other than the fancy rides, those were often my Friday or Saturday nights during the summers of my high school years. We had two nearby small cities in Indiana we used to cruise in.
Later on, in an effort to stop the cruising municipalities put strict lane requirements and restrictions on the roads (allegedly so emergency vehicles could get through, although there was some truth to that) and that pretty much killed it off. Of course the problems were the fights, the beer bottles and the cigarette butts all over the parking lots that we'd leave behind.
We all thought we were the be-all and end-all of cool. I often wonder what the 17 year old WeAreNDHockey would think of the current version. I might not have been as cool as I thought I was then, but dammit I was certainly cooler than I am now.
A couple days ago on OK Cupid, a 50 year old woman liked me and sent an intro. Not to date me, but to tell me she's the Mom of a transgender child and she sends her love. I so want to give her a hug right now!

I remember one restriction is that you couldn't pass the same business establishment 3x within 30 minutes, or something similar. There was one notable exception, and that was Porky's in St Paul (legit non-naughty business). Everyone was behaved, it was to show off (or see) awesome cars just cruising the road. Unfortunately, Porky's closed a few years ago. That was always a fun time.
