Why do I like the 1950s/'60s so much?

[MadModeler]

I was born in the late 60s and the neighbourhood I grew up in had a train track running behind the houses across the street from me. I find myself wanting to model pretty much all eras in some shape and form but find myself leaning towards the 60s and 70s myself. Part of that reason is that my home town (when I was a child) was smaller but much more alive than what it is today. We had a large variety of industries back then. The downtown core was much better with the theatres we had. Only one of them still exists (one was demolished and two others were converted to night clubs).

To me, modelling can be considered a living snap shot of the past with a generous helping of fantasy thrown in to suit personal taste.
