Wow, there sure are lots of gossip and snark-filled websites out there bombarding you with heaps upon heaps of the negative, the nasty and the nonsense (our favorite). Some fun, so pretty despicable, most leaving you with that less-than-fresh feeling in your soul. Remedy?  Today I stumbled across a website every that is  refreshingly different, dare I say sweet… and stylish to boot.

Before the fanny packs and Andrea Bocelli concerts, your parents (and grandparents) were once free-wheeling, fashion-forward, and super awesome.

After viewing a couple of these retro gems, I got choked up pretty quickly because my parents were also very awesome and sadly, they are no longer with us. That’s Patty and Don pictured above back in 1967 (honeymoon, I think). Lovely folks with darn good taste.

It was made even better by the complete lack of Mummers. It was really nice to see so many happy people having fun and behaving for the most part, maybe they’re just exhausted from the two previous nights of car-burning, luggage-stealing debauchery.

Great to see my man Jamie Moyer and his 32 children. Jamie went to St. Joe’s University (back in the 30s) and so did I (little later). When the flatbed drove by, we locked eyes (Hawks can spot each other in crowds) and gave each other a small flap of our Hawk wings. A tear rolled down my cheek. All was right in the world. Go Phils! Almost forgot… Chase, Ryan, Cole, Jason, Harry Kalas… much more handsome in person.
