Two walls were covered in cork and things went up and down constantly but no fan posters. The only poster I remember was one my uncle got for me. He was a NYC bus dispatcher at the time and he took a Levy's rye bread that was supposed to go up in a train. It was "You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's," the one with the native American in a hat with a feather eating a pastrami sandwich on Levy's rye bread.

That's Sean Connery as Bond. I loved the Bond movies and at the time there was no compilation album with all of the theme songs, so you had to get the full soundtrack for each movie just to have the themes. (And who wants to listen to anything beyond the main songs?) That is no longer true, fortunately. My albums were alphabetized so Y for "You" made it the last album. :)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-11951085450542077882021-01-14T05:54:33.403+00:002021-01-14T05:54:33.403+00:00Oh yeah, I remember "antiquing."

As a teenager, I had a bedroom in the basement. It had a cheap ceiling and paneling. I was allowed to put up all the posters I wanted--on the ceiling and the walls. Some were anti-war posters. Many were cartoonish appeals to travel to a variety of countries. My oldest sister had a friend who was a travel agent who gave the travel posters to my sister, who then gave them to me. Never any posters with pretty girls.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-28505998809255689772021-01-13T23:22:33.664+00:002021-01-13T23:22:33.664+00:00I did have a few token female celebrities on my wa...I did have a few token female celebrities on my walls among the many many posters of male celebs.
