National Retro Day

National Retro Day, February 27, takes us back to a time before smartphones and the internet.

Every generation looks back and asks, "Remember when?" Every generation looks back and asks, "Remember when?" While remaining in the present, this commemoration honors our admiration for the good ol' days.

Whatever the decade, choose a time when people talked more face to face than text to text, had dinner at home around the table, and the kids enjoyed games that didn't require internet access, regardless of the decade.
