1980s

From the fruity smells of Lip Smackers before that awkward first kiss to the school supplies that made us a little dizzy, let’s take a nostalgic whiff down memory lane.

The 80's were the best. If you doubt me, take a journey with me into the now distant past when Missouri was so 80's that it had a McDonald's riverboat dock at the St. Louis riverfront.

Phones used to be attached to walls with cords. Movies used to need to be rewound and returned to a rental store. The common hangout place used to be malls, but that era has now passed, too. There's a video showing one final walk through a Missouri mall that was demolished 14 years ago.

Some of the top baby names for the past year were Oliver and Liam. It didn't use to be that way. I found a completely retro look back to what parents in Missouri were naming their kids in the 1980's and it's completely gnarly.

There are moments in people's lives when they bond like no one else can.
