.. I'm referring to.. sights ,sounds that trigger.. good ol memories for you!
.. I have lived in the same city, for most of my life...
.. I can hardly go anywhere..
. in my city... without.. a certain building or place triggering... a fond childhood memory....

.. even certain movies.. take me back
.. to my youth.. for instance the Raiders of the Lost Ark..
everytime I come across it on the TV station... it takes me right back to standing in line. with my friends.
hoping that we get in ?and get a good seat for the show...
. and then going to A&W for burgers afterwards.... and reenacting certain parts of the movie....hmm.....
...
do you have a favorite film or place that you go to.... that conjures up fond memories, of your childhood..

... everytime I smell burnt toast..
I'm reminded of my wife's cooking..lol

... for me I cannot go into.. princess auto.. it is a auto and hardware store all in one... they carry everything from farm supplies... to camping and yard equipment... power tools... well basically a little bit of everything actually... it's an awesome store..

.. my dad and I used to go there frequently.. before he passed..
.. now.... whenever I go there..
.. all I can do is remember the times my dad and I spent in that store..
.. they're great memories..
.. but now instead of going there and seeing all this great stuff....
.. all I see now are images.. memories of my dad saying.. PhD come look at this...ohhhh.. I definitely need one of these.... a screwdriver / bottle opener / flashlight . all in one...lol.... good memories...
. but bittersweet at the same time..:angel:

Summer evening... walk along the river Vltava here in Prague...lights of the restaurant on the opposite side... it reminds me of the time long ago - my family holidays - which we used to spent at the seaside...I know that river isnοΏ½t so wide as sea lol but still, in night, I remember of the time when I was a child and want to go back to those days, to visit those places I knew... Or later period, during the war, when I lived on seaside, as a refugee...Very hard time it was, but some memories are so dear...And wish I could have them back...

lots of places I go to reminds me of a lot since this is where I did grow up ... and some older friends too ... there was a couple of restaurant that I loved and hung out 1 stayed open all night ... now has been torn down...ohwell other one long story I am sure you would love to here but is no more ... would eat there all the time when little to before I left the state ... something other now not the same ... owners have passed on ... I still enjoy a few others that are still open ... get there when I can ... ohmygoodness my city has changed ... big time ... even the rds ... have put in major highways ... I came back to visit and remember when they started the new highway ... some old... some new ...that's how it goes I guess ...

I miss the old Atari 2600, that i used to have. I mean it's good to play the PS3 and the PS4 that i have, but i miss those daft old Atari games like Pacman, Asteroids, Frogger, Frostbite and Defender. Class gaming! bigsmile

my first PC did not have a GUI

every time I see someone on AS/400 some place, I see myself on my old dot matrix closing down the word processor so I could open up another program. pre windows...lol

oh god sweetest I had one of those too, I just don't remember the model, an Atari or maybe a Commadore and to think there is a whole generation that doesn't know what a 5 1/4 floppy drive is. Did you ever write a program on a punch card? Ah the old AS/400 and VAX days.
