Visiting Grand Rapids Michigan?

I found this amazing visitors guide to Grand Rapids, MI at a yard sale today! Grand Rapids is a pretty big city a couple hours away from my little town of Owosso, and apparently in 1968, the night life was SWINGIN'! Seriously, what happened to the days of all-you-can-eat smorgasbords, cheesy lounge acts, cocktails, and go-go dancer waitresses? I really need to find a time machine so I can escape this modern day sports bar horror show!!!!

Holy Shish Kabob!

Girl stuff from Co-ed Magazine, April 1971

 Seriously, those are some mighty big ham hunks! The fact that the previous owner felt the need to repeatedly express her love for Rob all over this cover makes it all the more interesting.

Boy-ar-deeeeeee!

When I was just a wee little tike, my favorite food on earth was Chef Boy-ar-dee Ravioli. Whenever my folks gave me the choice of what I wanted for my birthday dinner, I always chose this stuff (much to their dismay), even into my teen years! Nowadays it pretty much grosses me out though, hahahaaa!

Screaming Yellow Zonkers

I found these at the dollar store. The retro minimalist design of the box grabbed my attention, and to my surprise they were delicious! I had no idea that these were around in the 70's until i saw a commercial on one of my retro commercial DVD's. Unfortunately I've never seen them for sale since!
