Going Back to 1953

Favorite Restaurants

My grandma was born outside of Portageville,Missouri, on her dad's farm.

I was born in a hospital at Dyersburg , Tennessee.

Grandma didn't have a WAL MART to buy toys like I do. She had the Ben Franklin and the Barkovitziz Department Store.

 

 

She didn't get to watch shows like "Sponge Bob" or "King of the Hill." She enjoyed shows such as"Captain Kangaroo" and Saturday cartoons. My grandma got a bathtub in 2nd grade because her dad had a good crop that year. I've always had a bathtub.
Grandma ate at the City Pig in Portageville, Missouri, on special occasions such as birthdays. I go to Ryans on special occasions such when my brother and I make honor roll. My grandma's bicycle was as important to her as a Playstation 2 is to me.
My grandmother and I both like to wash the dishes. She hated to pick cotton, and my least favorite chore is mowing the lawn. I like to hang out at my grandma's house and she liked to hang out at the Shannon Theater at Portageville.
My mom drives a 2005 Dodge Durango, and her mom drove a 1953 Ford.
My grandmother's town's most important rule was no town drunks. My town's most important rule is no fighting or cursing.
When my grandma was younger than I am right now she thought the word "pecan" was "becan."

My grandma didn't have video games like we do today but she did have pinball machines.

 

The Best Reasons for Living in Both Times
I think it is awe-inspiring to live today because of all the new inventions such as the computer to look up information, the planes and tanks to fight wars,and the t.v. to watch the weather and updates of important things to people. It is also awe-inspiring to live today because of the cures scientists have found. I think it would be awesome to live in the past because you could've met alot of famous people such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Mark Twain,and Rose Wilder.

The Improvements of the Bicycle

A bicycle has changed so much over the last 50 years.It has changed from being really big to kind of small,the tires are smaller,and there are alot of different brands and types than there was 50 years ago.
