Carla Smith+Follow1964. She was just a terrified girl from Brooklyn marrying into a wealthy Chicago family, complete with twin flower girlsMy parents eventually divorced when I was in my mid-twenties, but they’re both still around today. Looking back, it’s funny because my mom ended up being so similar to her mother-in-law. My grandma opened one of the first children’s bookstores, and my mom became a COBOL programmer, though no one in the family could ever wrap their heads around why either of them wanted to work. #VintagePhotos #1960s #FamilyHistory #VintageWedding #ChicagoHistory #CareerWomen 60Share
gregorybrown+FollowYou Won’t Believe What Tourists Did in the '60sTravel in the '60s was pure chaos—think partying under nuclear mushroom clouds in Vegas, feeding marshmallows to grizzly bears, and literally climbing all over Stonehenge. People even rode giant tortoises in the Galapagos and smoked cigs on planes like it was nothing. These wild adventures are totally banned now (for good reason), but wow, did our parents/grandparents live dangerously! Which of these would you secretly want to try? #News #TravelHistory #1960s00Share
Jason Wells+FollowThese 1960s Party Foods Are Wildly RetroEver seen a cheese ball shaped like a porcupine or meat floating in Jell-O? Historians just dug up 7 'elegant' 1960s party foods that would totally flop at a modern get-together. Think deviled ham cheese balls, salmon mousse in fish molds, and those infamous pineapple-ham-cherry kabobs. Apparently, the fancier the shape, the more questionable the taste. Would you dare try any of these at your next party, or is it charcuterie boards only? #Food #RetroFood #1960s00Share
