Welcome back once again to The Weekend Edition. It’s where I share with you my curated list of retro and nostalgia-themed stories and articles I’ve run across in my travels around the world wide web in the last week. So grab yourself a hot cup of coffee (or tea), get comfortable, and enjoy the reads.
Before we deep dive into this week’s links, I’ve got a special one for you. If you’re looking for some little something for that retro lover in your life, or if you just want to introduce someone younger to something you enjoyed when you were younger, check out The Retro Network Stocking Stuffer Shopping Guide for 2021! It’s filled with all sorts of things that will take someone back to what we refer to as “the good old days”.
