Print Advertising and the Baby Boomer’s

The thing about print ads from the ‘50s, 60’s and 70’s is that they tell us so much about us Baby Boomers, and about our society in those times. So have a seat because some of these print ads may render you lightheaded.

Movies and the Baby Boomers

With only six TV channels and no streaming service, going to the theater and Drive-in movies played a big part of a Baby Boomers life. There were epic movies like Ben-Hur but most of our movie viewing was spent on bad horror films. So, sit back relax and hear how much fun movie going was for the Baby Boomers.
