Boomerland: "Jurassic Park' for Boomers

A bright idea hit my brain a moment ago. How about a resort I could check-in to, where I would be treated to a few days of a the world I've lost, the world of the time of my youth in the 1970's. It would be like that TV show '70's House,' but instead of a bunch of clueless young adults finding the styles quaint, there would be nothing but boomers and other people who lived in the 70's or 60's. And not as reality television but as life. This would be a place that would be so realsitic a visit back into the 70's, you'd think Ford were still president. A Plimoth Plantation of the 1970's that would go on for acres and acres. You'd see period cars, and signage. Product labels and print fonts that hark of the times. Only music you'd have heard at the time would play, and when you got back to your room, there'd be a TV that would show nothing but the way TV was in the 70's. Vintage network shows; news shows; vintage commercials. Some old movies from the 30s and 40's would be shown on 70's TV late at night. Radio? Same thing, rock, soul, muzak, classic. With vintage sounding DJ's and classic commercials. And of course there could only be 3 network channels, 1 pbs, 2 or 3 independents, and of course, no remotes. And toys and games we would have known back then, strewn in closets and on the floor. Of course there were remotes--I just never had one till later. My Grandpa had a remote on his color TV in 1966, and I remember watching Star Trek, the Trouble With Tribbles episode on that set. The bedding, the dishes would all have to be 70's A place where I could go and feel I had entered a new time, in which it would once again be possible to walk, and walk, and perhaps ride or even fly, but to travel a continuous line from where you are now to where they should still be, but aren't.

If they were to open this new kind of Disneyland for Boomers, would you go?

This is inspiring me to write in my blog again

What a surprise it was to read of the young lady whose blog is being turned into a book and movie. I have felt guilty about not writing in my blog for the past month, but--fear no more--I'm back.
