The old drive in movies and late night diners. They were lit up with neon signs. Or the old movie theaters that played 2 movies a week. With the red velvet and gold curtains and people walking around with candy. The time when everyone walked everywhere and the only phones where house phones. The TV was black and white and the radios where constant static. The time when technology didn't exist. Life was better back then. Most of the time it was safer. Your kids could run around outside with no worries. You knew everyone in town. If only we could go back to those days. When the economy wasn't so bad, when the world was safer, when you could spend a comfortable day watching a movie and it was only 25 cents. When you could go out with your husband or wife for a nice dinner and not get a business call. The sights, the people, it was so much better. You could lay on the grass and watch the sun go down.

The movie "The Majestic" show how great life was in a small town but also shows you what is happening to the world now. It shows you how much life has changed. It went from small towns, where everyone knew each other and the mayor ran the town. To the government taking over the USA, to the economy getting worse, to people not even wanting to get to know each other. I would love to go back to the 1950's, everything but the cold war was great.
