March 27, 2025GenX Kids' Rides
It’s common knowledge that our GenX youth was a free-range childhood – leaving the house & the morning and back before dark. As we spent our unsupervised days roaming the neighborhood, our modes of personal transportation were as varied as they were awesome. From Big Wheels & bicycles to go-karts & skateboards — in this Backtrack, we’re hitting the road and remembering all the ways we got around as kids!

March 13, 2025GenX Phone Fun
These days, a phone is a super-computer in your pocket, but growing up GenX, it was an appliance plugged into the wall. But like today, we still found a way to use the phone for our entertainment. From 900 numbers to party lines; Moviefone to prank calling – we made our own fun. In this Backtrack, we remember all the ways we used to make our own fun with the home telephone.
