Do you feel like nobody talks to their neighbors anymore? If you’re from an older generation, it’s kind of wild. Virginia residents used to know who lived next door, help each other out, and plan get-togethers. But now? Many Virginia residents just nod politely (if that) and go back inside. Honestly, that’s a shame—because being…
A mere 100 or so years ago, Floridian women—and American women across the country—couldn’t do a lot of things modern-day women don’t even think twice about today. Things like voting, going to college, or wearing pants in public were either off-limits or caused serious drama. Back then, the rules were extra unfair and stacked against…
You probably think you’ve got your grocery storage system down to a science. Pasta? Pantry. Milk? Fridge. Easy, right? But there are actually a bunch of foods that many Alabamians toss in the pantry without realizing they should be kept cold. The fridge can help them last longer, taste better, or even stay safer to…
We often see nostalgia as something sweet and endearing. But that’s not always true. Experts call nostalgia a “mixed emotion” because its effects can be good or bad. Whether you’re aware of it or not, nostalgia sometimes stops being a comforting old friend and becomes our darkest enemy. These are situations when that’s the case for…
We get it. Water can be bland, boring, and, frankly, not very enjoyable to consume when there are so many other yummy drink options in Oregon. But like it or not, we need water to survive. Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, and, eventually, even organ failure. The good news? You don’t have to…
Grocery shopping in Georgia should be easy, right? You grab your cart, pick out ingredients for meals for the week, maybe venture into the frozen pizza section, and head to the checkout. But nope—some Georgians turn grocery shopping into a full-on chaos zone. From blocking aisles to ditching ice cream on random shelves, people can…
Some of the most legendary bands left their Florida fans disappointed and yearning for more after splitting up. Ego, exhaustion, illness, and even death are among the reasons for their breakups. Despite their immense success and adoration, the pressures of fame and the demands of the music industry can strain even the closest-knit band groups….
When was the last time you sent a fax, balanced a checkbook, or developed film? If you can’t remember, you’re not alone. Many skills that Tennessee residents needed only a few decades ago have become all but obsolete today. In most cases, technology has made these skills redundant, replacing tasks that people used to do…
In the same way that ponchos and bell bottoms have all but disappeared from our modern lives, certain foods of the 1960s are tough to find. Sure, you may come across the occasional Jell-O mold in a Georgia church basement somewhere, and you might even find a Grasshopper pie on a random restaurant menu. But,…
Life in 1970s Florida looked a lot different from what it does today. People wore bell-bottoms, listened to records, and drove around in big cars without seat belts. But not everything from the groovy decade stuck around; the government stepped in and banned certain things because they were dangerous or unhealthy. How many of these…
