hells yeah, Sleazeside was the place to be!  Although no way I was a Guido, I'm from Pennsylvania, we just didn't have enough Drakkar Noir to compete with the Jersey Boys.

dude, i was born to answer this question. i loved the 80s. you really do not realize how much you miss something until it is gone. as with everything, age gives one a perspective. while living inside the decade, i didn't know i really cared. i'm not one to blab on and on, so i'll try keep it short. one of my very first memories is of the miracle on ice. i also remember hearing about john lennon getting shot. the significance of both was lost on me until i was a bit older. flew to LA to see the olympics in'84, the soviets boycotted since the usa did in 1980. Carl Lewis was the man. so was evil kneivel (sp?), that guy had big brass balls! \nwhile in school, the space shuttle Challenger blew up before my very eyes while we were watching the first teacher, christy mccauliffe, lifted into space. There were attempted assassinations of pope john paul II and president reagan.  there was always an air of fear due to nuclear arms and the cold war. the soviets were the enemy, that was that. watch the movie 'red dawn' for a perspective. it blew my mind when the berlin wall fell and so did the soviet union. I knew i was a witness to history, very cool. ronald reagan was the president. and since he was the president during my formative years, and i was taught to respect the office, love or hate the man, he was the example all the others had to live up to. i vaguely remember the iran hostage situation that preceded ronald reagan being elected.  \nmusic wise, my older brother was punk and I loved punk, ramones, dead kennedys and black flag to name a few. i was not a big fan of the electronic music, e.g., flock of seagulls, human league, until i got older and i realized it was a soundtrack to my youth. I was there when MTV started, i saw the first video they aired, video killed the radio star, or whatever. madonna's playboy issue was highly sought after. i used to be abe to run into the store to buy my father cigarettes, and a pack was less than a dollar! so much to talk about, i could go on forever.\ni miss the 80s because of the nostalgia, i was young and innocent and it seemed that the world was too. when you get older, you will miss your past and hopefully be passionate about it as much.

I remember when stamps were I believe a dime, payphones were a dime and then a quarter. I remember one time I called the help number that used to be listed on the payphone because it was busted. The operator sent me a check for $0.25. I remember when you walked into an establishment, people would greet you with a smile and say "hello" and then when you leave they'd say "thank you..."  I remember when a man would give up a seat for a woman, especially if she was pregnant. I remember penny candies and mom and pop shops. I remember a little ice cream shop in Greenpoint, NY (Brooklyn) that used to sell the best banana splits. I remember when you used to be able to ask the supermarkets for their crates and now,  it's illegal to sit on one. I remember when you were tired you could sit down, now they are giving fines to pregnant women who are tired and sit on the stairwell of the subway. (She must have been tired to, even think about, sitting on that nasty, grime crusted step!) I remember when all men used to open doors for ladies and children and now I find women and children opening the doors and healthy grown men walking by and my husband being on of those rare ones that still do those nice things (I am blessed to have him). Things have become a little to convenient sometimes to the point where we have become lazy, forgetful and ill-mannered. Sure, lots of things have improved but those things that we didn't need improving on...simply disappear or is slowly doing so. That's why we end up "remembering" these old moments...because we secretly long for a time or thing that reminds us all of our childhood.

For me personally the 80's were like the 60's for my parents.Sex,drugs and rock-n-roll. Free love and all that. Bell bottoms came back for awhile tie dye and concert shirts.If you watch that 70's show. The early to mid 80's wasn't much different. I would Donna and my friend Amy was more like Jackie. I hope this helps.

all of my school years were in the 70s and i remember wearing bell bottoms and long hair, buying cigarettes at the corner store for my mom with a note. we also got a whole bag of candy for a quarter. i remember the gas wars and also being terrified about growing up and having to wear gas masks to breath because thats what they told us in school. I thought the world was going to end soon because the grown ups were poluting the planet and the kids would be living on a dead planet wear the sun would burn us up through the ozone layer. I learned how to live in the moment though, skating , disco dancing, pushing limits.

There's some really nice housing in Bergen County.  That's where I live now.  It gets VERY crowded up here, though.  I plan on moving down near the shore points eventually.  Less crowded and near the beach.  That sounds perfect to me.  :)

I haven't forgot them...I listen to the 80's music through our dish service and it takes me back to middle school...just like it was yesterday. I remember straight leg lee jeans with hole in the knees and a motley crue t-shirt at my eighth grade dance...
