Is it true that you can never go back?

Sad to see that they did a demo job on a classic drive in, in Mel's Drive In. We have one back home, though they had to remodel it, but still has the best damn food you'll ever find. Plus they have fountain style root beer that can melt in your mouth, its that damn good. You cant buy that, in some damn store. lol Plus, we had the curb side service complete with waitress's on roller skates. They even have a old classic car show there, about once every summer. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, cos not only do I have BOTH, American Graffiti & the sequel More American Graffiti, but I also happened upon the complete soundtrack of the movie with a 2 cd set of ALL the great music that made American Graffiti, American Graffiti. And they sold allot of em. How do I know? Simple. I stumbled upon an ad in a magazine & it was in there, that I saw the 2 cd set. Funny thing is, AFTER I bought mine, the ad mysteriously disappeared from sight. Guess they must a sold out. But not till I snatched a copy up for my cd collection. Great movie, great cars, & the BEST DAMN MOVIE SOUNDTRACK there ever was. Who could ask for more? Plus they had on the cover of the cd set, a picture of Mel's complete with allot of the old cars in the parking lot. That'll F N work. lol

The decade was marked by the post-World War II boom, the dawn of the Cold War and the Civil Rights movement in the United States. The roles within the "ideal" American family were clearly defined.

The father was the breadwinner, which supported his wife and their ever growing family. On average, gas cost 18 cents per gallon at the start of the 1950s and 25 cents per gallon at the end of the decade. The economy was booming, new cars, suburban houses and other consumer goods were available to more people than ever before. Car culture took off in the 1950s.

President Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act in June of 1956 to create 41,000 miles of national highways. This made family road trips possible! Televisions became something the average family could afford. The Golden Age of Television was marked by family-friendly shows like I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, The Twilight Zone and Leave It To Beaver.

The 1950s saw the emergence of Rock ‘n’ Roll, which swept across the nation. The booming prosperity of the 1950s helped to create a widespread sense of stability in the United States. That consensus was a fragile one, and would be tested in the following decade.
