RETRO DAY

Retro Day takes us back to a time before smartphones and the internet. Every generation looks back and asks, “Remember when?” and this  celebration indulges our love for the good ole days while remaining in the present. Today is a day to remember and reminisce about all things retro! Retro Day founded in 2018 as a way to look back on life before the Internet, smartphones, and social media. Many people refer to the decades before the 2000s as nostalgic and love to daydream about the times of the rotary phones, typewriters, and record players. Hardcore nostalgia enthusiasts may still have some of these items in their homes but for many, this list is a way to remember retro items that have come and gone. Comment and let me know how many of these items you still own or once owned!                                                                                                                  Rick
