Orson Bean was born Dallas Frederick Burrows on July 22, 1928 in Burlington, Vermont. He had a cousin you may have heard of, Calvin Coolidge. But speaking from my own perspective, he is renowned for his quick comedic style and demonstrated on various episodes of the Johnny Carson Show which...

Our Parents' Favorite Restaurants

One of the most sacred rituals that I recall from my childhood was that of getting into the car and driving, sometimes over an hour, to a favorite restaurant. The delicious saturated-fat laden food was a particular delight to my parents, who could remember the very lean times of the...

TV Trays

Rumors of only one nostalgic journey this week are greatly exaggerated. My internet connection is doing much better, thank you. The living room of the 1960's was a warm, friendly place. True, times had changed since our parents might have first purchased our modest homes fifteen of twenty years prior....

The Ups and Downs of Downtowns

The communities that we live in have been evolving since time immemorial. No facet of American culture has undergone more transformations than the downtown business district. Every town with more than a couple hundred residents has one. And the odds are that it has seen its share of ups and...

Marilyn Is Dead!

As I have stated repeatedly here, my first coherent memory was the death of JFK. However, many slightly older Boomers have have a similar photographic recollection of the death of renowned tortured soul Marilyn Monroe. Starlets have handled their fame with various degrees of aptitude. Some, like Mae West, reveled...

Four Dead in Ohio

One of the great societal changes that took place during the 60's was the banding together of the nation's youth under a common shared cause. That cause was protesting the war in Vietnam. The war itself was a drawn-out affair that was mired in red tape and bureaucratic rules of...
