re: Where were you in 1984?

I was five going on six. Worlds Fair is what I remember most. And Ghostbusters.

Worked in NOLA, got married, lived in a “modern” apartment complex, went to the Sugar Bowl (on 2 Jan.), celebrated Reagan’s reelection, went to the World’s Fair, went to JazzFest, saw Moo State beat LSU @ Starkvegas, went out every weekend, fricked like rabbits on speed.

I was 2. I was probably in a house in a neighborhood off of Millerville Rd in Baton Rouge.

Where were you in 1984

Freshman year at lsu

Junior year of high school.I remember it as the most fun of my high school years. Senior year sucked.My English class read 1984 in 1984.Always thought that was cool.Rocked Prince Purple Reign, Springsteen Born in the USA, and U2 Unforgettable Fire all year.It was the best summer of my life.

Listening to the last record that Van Halen made with David Lee Roth.

The 80's were glorious. We had video games, although they were pretty rudimentary by today's standards. On Saturdays we'd get as many of us together as possible and ride our bikes to the elementary school around the corner to play football.

No cell phones. No internet. No 300 channel cable packages. Just friends that you enjoyed being with.

I was 6, so I don’t remember that year specifically. Probably eating Fruity Pebbles and watching awesome Saturday morning cartoons. I could also be found running the streets in Dukes of Hazard Big Wheel. I do remember having an Atari 2600, but we mostly played outside.

I was 12 and it was awesome

Went to the World’s Fair twice that summer

Baseball, football, and basketball at the playground

Lots of good movies at the theater- we mostly went to the theater at Lakeside Mall and the other theater across Veterans

Watched a lot of football and baseball on tv- we had got cable a year or two before

Rode the Mongoose in the neighborhood all the time. Lots of houses getting built and we made dirt bike tracks in empty lots

Spent a lot of quarters at the Fun Arcade and the Putt-Putt arcade on Vets

And at home, Atari all the time- Asteroids, Defender, Missile Command, and Space Invaders especially

I miss these simple good times. My parents were alive, no job, no bills, no headaches.
