X-TREME RETRO: 1950-63
'90'S? 80'S? 70'? 60'S? FORGET THE BABY STEPS! WE'RE GOING HARDCORE!

Of late there is a thing going around. It is called "retro". getting the things from bygone days. To be sure, it was always there, but mostly as a nostalgioa thing. Now, it seems to be a part of life for all ages in equal measure; from 26 to 62. There seems to be a dis-satisfaction with today's culture. Whether it is due to the over-slickness or the percieved shallowness or that we have reached a stage in history where we have a real culture, I cannot say since they are all equally likely. The Internet has fuelled this activity by providing cheap, quick access to narrow-interest persons to each other and the people who can provide either the actual retro items or new reproductions. Well, Buzz Corry's TERRA V had a timewarp drive a dozen years before the blue police box; so Space Patrol has you covered there, too. Natch.
