1940's and 50's: Time for a Nostalgia Break!

 

That girl in the photo above is probably listening to "Meet Corliss Archer" or "A Date With Judy" as she does her homework in her rolled up jeans and Bobbysox. It is typical of those lovely girls I grew up with back before the advent of TV and the increasing exploitation of women that followed. The lovely example of true femininity in the photo below, brings back precious memories of a Sunday afternoon with my then girl friend Judy as we drove out to dinner at the Old Heidelberg, or perhaps Landwehr's or the Glendale for dinner in my 1952 Willys "Aerolark.". My dear wife Judy was a fashion plate back during those years. White gloves, a crinoline skirt, and sheer wholesome female beauty.

Diane Hoffman, you made my day, along with of the many visitors to this website! The above "Sandwich Menu" from what we called "The Glendale" has been posted for all of us fugitives from the 1950's to enjoy. When I was a young guy back in that golden era, the Glendale, Landwehr's.

 If you were really trying to impress your date, Lavender Hall was one of the IN places to take your best girlfriend on a Sunday afternoon. By the way, do you remember the big tree that grew right in the middle of the restaurant and through a hole in the roof at Lavender Hall? Another long forgotten "high class" destination was "Chubby's" way down in the area of the Camden County circle.
