{"product_id":"9781932472738","title":"Green Stamps to Hot Pants: Growing up in the 50's and 60's","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenny Zak Kieley\u003c\/b\u003e, the author of several best-selling books about the neighborhoods and early history of Northeast Minneapolis, here turns her attention to her own childhood years. Intermixing social research and personal nostalgia, she creates a portrait of a simpler era, when Monday was washday and Tuesday was ironing day, and busy housewives collected green stamps. Drive-ins were the hot spots on Saturday nights, and kids experienced first loves (and first heartbreaks) while listening to doo-wop music on their transistor radios. Cars had fins, bikes were big and bulky, and television had just arrived. Countless Westerns vied with \u003ci\u003eThe Wonderful World of Disney\u003c\/i\u003e for the family's attention, and Ed Sullivan introduced the nation to those mop-headed youths, the Beatles. \"I'll always remember that time [Kieley writes]. Like many other baby boomers I have a deep sentimental yearning to reclaim the memory of days long past. The music was deep and powerful and also a little crazy. But it was also a time of innocence; this is a memoir of the world as I remember it in the 1950s and 60s.\"","brand":"Adventure Publications, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039607931120,"sku":"9781932472738","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932472738_p0.jpg?v=1763639530","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932472738","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
