The one "last time" that really hits me is the last time all my friends and I played outside together as kids.........and none of us realized that it was.

I just want to say. That is crazy that the spouse of an actual Civil War veteran just left us as recently as 2020. The civil war ended in 1865!!😮

I distinctly remember cigarette ads in magazines well into the 80s

Harrison Ruffin Tyler, born in 1928, is the last living grandson of President John Tyler, born in 1790. The last living witness to the Lincoln assassination appeared on an episode of I've Got a Secret in 1956, although there is debate about his veracity.

Whoever narrates your videos.. it's a genius! Pay him handsomely and keep him right there, because he makes even kinda boring stories seem AWESOME!

The last time I got something from Blockbuster was at the Honeygo Shopping Center in Perry Hall, Maryland. I rented "Duma" (2005) for Thanksgiving 2007

Fun Fact: I was an actor/stuntman in the 90's and was in Florida filming a Players Light ad for the Indy car races that got cancelled 3 days into shooting because they passed legislation banning cigarettes as sponsors. As such i never got paid and lost a huge chunk of money.

I remembered the tidbit about A History of Violence being the last VHS. Saw it years ago as a clue on Jeopardy and have never forgot 😂

"I flew on Concord to New York from London, and I arrived before I f*cking left!" -Billy Connolly Fyi, Concord's only air accident had nothing to do with the aircraft's design or operation. The crash was the result of inadequate repairs done to another commercial passenger airplane which ended up dropping a significant sized piece of metal onto the runway just prior to the ill-fated Concord flight. The piece of fallen metal punctured a tire on Concord's landing gear which ended up shredding the tire, sending pieces flying in all directions at extreme velocity which would end up puncturing the Concord's hull and into a fuel tank which ignited and caused a huge fireball to engulf the airplane as it was lifting off from the runway. The Concord would then crash down into a nearby hotel killing all on board as well as some people at the hotel.

The documentary about the Clotilda and the survivors' descendents is a great movie about a community rediscovering itself.
