(Fanwood, NJ) — During the past 20 years, we’ve gained Smart Phones, GPSs, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Artificial Intelligence, and many other services and devices; however, we’ve also lost many things. In “Going Going Gone” Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta takes a walk down memory lane and talks about memorable products that are on their way out the door, or completely obsolete. Some may surprise you!
Remember landlines, S&H Green Stamps, address books, subway tokens, and red pistachio nuts? Which of these items do you miss? Which ones do you still use? And what, do you feel, is the greatest invention you’ve seen during your lifetime?
Christiano-Mistretta jolts your memory discussing once common items we’ve long forgotten about. Come share your views and memories in this interactive lecture.
Audience participation is greatly encouraged! Feel free to bring your old items for “Show & Tell!” And check out Maryanne’s traveling “museum” of odd items from yesteryear. Young audience members are sure to get a kick out of the items on display.
There is also a free raffle. One lucky attendee will go home with a fun, kitschy retro gift.
Registration for this program, to be held on Thursday, November 13th at 7 pm, is recommended and can be completed on the Fanwood Memorial Library website or by phone. Visit the website for more information about this and other upcoming programs.
