Imagine a time when you didn’t know if your pictures came out for days or weeks after you took them. Imagine only being able to take a limited number of pictures at one time before having to change film. Imagine having to store your pictures in huge binders in order to see them. If that sounds like photo hell to you then you are obviously not a GenX’er! It was the way pictures were done when we were growing up. Listen as we reminisce (and lament!) over what we had to go through in order to capture that perfect memory!

It’s common knowledge that our GenX youth was a free-range childhood – leaving the house & the morning and back before dark. As we spent our unsupervised days roaming the neighborhood, our modes of personal transportation were as varied as they were awesome. From Big Wheels & bicycles to go-karts & skateboards — in this Backtrack, we’re hitting the road and remembering all the ways we got around as kids! (May contain some explicit language.)

These days, a phone is a super-computer in your pocket, but growing up GenX, it was an appliance plugged into the wall. But like today, we still found a way to use the phone for our entertainment. From 900 numbers to party lines; Moviefone to prank calling – we made our own fun. In this Backtrack, we remember all the ways we used to make our own fun with the home telephone.
