GEN_X_Pub_n_Grill

Community for : 3 months

The GEN-X Pub & Grill is an online sub for Gen-Xers that celebrates the coolest generation EVER. GEN-X is the generation of Americans born between the mid-1960s and the early-1980s (1965–1980). We're the generation marked by Individualism, Determination, & Independence. News stations had to run promos nightly at 10 PM, reminding our parents that we even exist. We feared very little, and were all too happy to accept a challenge. (Hell, We coined the phrase "I bet I can").

The purpose of this sub, is to catalog the essence of GEN-X. Drop by and include your Memories, Stories, Photos, Memes, and Experiences of those greatest years.

Life as a broke teenager      (GEN_X_Pub_n_Grill)

Not really broke, but just not handed free money from the parents. Had to go out and mow lawns, rake leaves, wash cars, help neighbors paint, etc. We would do just about anything to earn money for parts for our BMX bikes (which each tube had six million patches) or to buy cigarettes, beer and weed. I can recall mowing a lawn for $5. That five bucks would get at 14 years old, two quarts of Old English 800 (before 40's existed)
A pack of Camels and a joint. Each was a dollar. Friend and I would get the beer and smokes from a small ARCO gas station that was not yet an AM/PM, from a clerk who didn’t care. Head on down to the park where there was always someone selling joints or pils or crank or some shit. Get a shake joint for a buck or a Bud joint for two bucks. Maybe get some cross tops, ten for a dollar.
Those were the days.

The men's version in the photo was the replacement for my HUFFY Sting-ray. I rode the heck out of this bike. This bike was so well balanced, that I could ride it on straight-aways without having to hold on to the handle bars. Can't really do that with the pseudo-mountain bike I have now.
