If you’re someone who loves to do jigsaw puzzles, here’s one that I’m sure would be tons of fun to try to complete: the Finger Monster Fiesta Jigsaw Puzzle (yes, I just typed that). With the holidays coming up, this might even be a wacky way to spend quality time with your family! Imagine it!

People of a certain age (such as me) will recall a time when cat wall clocks with moving eyes and a tail that swung back and forth like a pendulum, also known as Kit-Cat Clocks, were all the rage. If you’re feeing nostalgic, these little retro kitties for the holiday tree are distributed for resale by Cody Foster and Co. You will find them in various outlets such at this one, where you can pick up this pretty pink bauble for just $19.95! What a bargain!

Wouldn’t it be fun to be the person who designs the coin-operated Kiddie Rides that you sometimes still see out front of suburban grocery stores and strip malls? They aren’t as easy to find now as they were when I was a kid back in the stone age, but I still enjoy documenting them whenever see one. Because, nostalgia.

If you’re a person of a certain generation, you may have grown up with one of these things (hint: it’s a telephone) mounted to the kitchen wall of your family home. Ah, the days of no privacy on the absolutely un-mobile phone (on which conversations could eventually be rendered somewhat more private with the addition of the very long handset extension chord)! If you enjoy art and nostalgia, I recommend the exhibit, New York 1962 – 1964 on now at the Jewish Museum. This very fun exhibit uses the museum’s influential role in the early 1960s New York art scene as a jumping-off point to examine how artists living and working in New York City responded to the events that marked this moment in time. The exhibit features two floors of fantastic art, design, and pop culture and runs through January 8th, 2023.

I lived in Southern California until I moved to NYC at age 27; and from ages 3 to 19 (1964 to 1980) I resided in the city of Orange. The main street in my neighborhood was Tustin Avenue, which was populated with countless fast food and casual restaurants including McDonalds, Taco Bell, Marie Callender’s, A&W (Root Beer) Drive Up, Arby’s, Jack In The Box, Winchell’s Donuts, Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor, IHOP, Baskin Robbins and others whose memories have been lost to time.
