Lets see, how the heck did I find that stuff? Well, I'd love to say I was a walking almanac, but alas...I'm only full of knowledge and trivia that is fairly useless and pretty much only interesting to me. :)
I found it on a site called "Infoplease" found here. Its kind of an interesting site, if you like reading just random facts and stuff. :)
I rememeber when chicken was way cheaper than beef, even hamburger.
I'm pretty sure that when my sister an I were renting a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in this area, around 14 years ago, we were paying about $200 a month less than what we pay now for a 2 bdrm/2 bath, heck-of-a lot smaller apartment.
Minimum wage was less than $5 an hour.
I don't see our economy going in a good direction, do you?

I remember when gas was under a dollar a gallon.
I remember when stamps were five cents.
