#40 Going backwards

Retroland a little wander through our Americo centric past worrying really how many things one recognised. Many are related to the USA television experience, not much of interest here but I can see how it would become a useful historical record a bit further down the track if you looked back a hundred years this would be an important record of social priorities .
Me I remember the Afro hair the Afro comb in the back pocket, the men's fitted shirts, the clogs the caftans.
The relevance to the library could be that it could be used as a template for a site that encourages people in the local area to reminisce and thus create a safe community place for personal stories etc about the area to unfold.
