Ah, 1983…It was a good year – particularly because it was the year of my birth :)  However, the 1980s were pretty awesome in general.  We had the some of the best music and movies of all time.  People were also generally good people.  They were respectful during the holidays and looking to enjoy the shopping experience.

Take a look at Black Friday news reels from 1983 vs. the current day…

Possibly the best quote from the 1983 shopping….

“I like to be out during the time when everyone else is shopping.  Meet different ones and enjoy seeing different faces.”
