I miss so much the 80s. The best decade of my life and one that will never be forgotten

Hey Paolo Ive been seeing comments like yours over this past year more than ever and I couldn't agree more... So many of us are looking back on the 80s with so much heart felt memories.. I just can't believe how much has changed and I personally believe a lot of it has to do with technology.. Even though I'm typing this to you, someone I've never met in another part of the country I would give all of it up today if we could go back to the way it was before all this tech came into our lives... The 1980s was truly the last great decade and I believe the last great generation this country will ever see... Hope you enjoy the holidays with your family My Friend God Bless

What a time in history growing up in the 70s and 80s was a dream

Chaotic? Everyone looks so calm and well dressed. I was in my 20's in the 80's and I can say unequivocally it was an amazing era.

I remember my mom feeling victorious after managing to buy the last Cabbage Patch Doll at Macy’s. It was 1983 and we lived in Brooklyn

Yup I agree kids were kids I remember I was so excited getting my masters of the universe play set in 1984 were some fun times no worries then

Gotta love the last reporter walking around trolling everyone in the shop who is buying a Christmas gift late, lol. All in all, what a time to be alive (back then, not now)

The first segment looked like the 70s? The rest was pure 80s.

Nice shot of the old Kay-Bee's toys at Walt Whitman Mall, which sadly never re-opened after the 1991 fire destroyed that section of the mall. I remember seeing all those toys hanging from the ceiling.

I do my Christmas shopping throughout the entire year. It's easier to manage financially and I don't have to put up with the last-minute scramble and walking away gifts that people don't even necessarily want because everything else is sold out.

abc7ny .Great To See How The TV Channel Helped Out Pleasantly and Very Composed Boost Profits In That Way In The 80's . Even In Those Days People Appeared more settled In Their Decisions, Giving Thought On What To Buy Carefully. With Best Wishes For The Christmas Season, and New Year 2020.

That Bruce Springsteen vinyl collection would be over $52 today when adjusted for inflation. ...during a time when cassettes still reigned supreme, and CDs were becoming a thing, even if they were still considerably more expensive.
