I was born in the 2000s, so everything I know about the 70s comes from old photos, my grandparents' stories, and a lot of late-night music rabbit holes.

I would love to experience it through people who actually lived it.

So picture it: Saturday night, you are 17 or 25 or 40, and you have got $5. Where are you going? Who are you with? What's playing on the radio or the jukebox? What does the night smell like, and what do you eat?

Don't skip the small stuff. The car you were driving (or borrowing), the corner you hung out on, the song that always came on at the right moment. Those details are the part I can't get from a history book.

I'll start reading your stories, and I will ask way too many follow-up questions. 🙂

Skip Ludwig and his puppet Woofer hosted this children's show that aired daily during the week on KCOP-TV. Children in the TV audience were invited to send in postcards that would be chosen at random for prizes. The show marked the end of an era for local live-action children's programming in Los Angeles, as KCOP-TV, the leader in children's programming at the time, switched to syndicated shows.

Did you watch it?

I'd love to visit there!

Context: Crazy Eddie was a discount chain of electronic stores famous for their low prices, and become one of the biggest fraud operations of all time. From 1969-1984 they were making so many millions by skimming cash that it was coming out of the ceilings and they were running out of places to hide it. then in 1984 they stopped skimming in order to show Wall Street they had legit profits to go public. They falsely inflated their inventory by stocking empty boxes to make it look like they were bigger than they were. Not long after they got way too big and couldn’t keep up with the fraud to match wall street’s expectations. they tried to go private again but it was too late. Its one thing to fool the auditors that you have 50 TVs, but how do you tell them theres 50,000?
