Why I Miss the 80's

I have seen these little lists before, so thought I would give one a try,
Now, before I begin, I would like to note that there are several things I do like about today and would not trade
for anything. Also, I will be noting what I knew in my own local area during that time. Even with the bad things
that were going on, the 80's could be fun, so here we go.
First off, I was a kid in the 80's! Yay!
Things seemed more colorful then, from the clothes to even the stores.
The only major worry I had was school.
Computers were computers (though had some cool games.), game systems were game systems, phones were phones, TVs were
TVs, etc.
The future seemed bright and exciting, the present could be fun, and things from the past were still seen as useful.
Computers and technology were just powerful enough to make life interesting, not run our lives.
Also, there was quite a selection of about everything, computers included!
Walmart? What the heck was Walmart?
We actually had six department stores nearby and each one offered different things.
The toys were fun, the TV shows were great, and so was the music!
My town had more old buildings left and less vacant lots.
If you wanted to play the best games, you had to get off your butt and go to the arcade!
There were also arcade games in about every store and place your could think of!
There was always someplace to go and you didn't have to travel over an hour to find someplace to go.
Last but not least, the Saturday morning cartoons!
I think that is about it for now.
