Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 14, 2022

The era of the 10 speed.

Wow, a bike. Most of us just walked.

This is getting serious. Arlo isn’t about to let this go!

The things we do when we know she’s it.

Men aren’t allowed in the women’s dorms, Arlo!

Dorm that I lived in had bunker beds.

GO ARLO!

Always happens, no one is using the phone, you get on and everyone all of a sudden has to use the phone.

Janis thought he meant the keys to the Alfa Romeo

Mid 70’s; the TV show Bosom Buddies was entirely predicated on a “woman’s” hotel where men were only allowed to visit in the parlor and had to be out by 10 or 11 pm. The boys needed a cheap place to live so they put on dresses and make up and got a room with a friend. Starred, wait for it, Tom Hanks

No car? A bicycle belt for one.

How did romance flourish before cell phones … /s

When I went to college, we did not have a phone booth, just a very open phone in the middle of the hallway where everyone could hear what you were saying. So, of course, we would make plans to meet at the student union. Not that it was any more private, but mostly, no one would pay attention to what other folks were saying. They had their own conversations.

I hope JJ incorporates Tim’s pool party (26 Nov 94) in this story line.

Well, six minutes…

Loving this. Especially knowing that they end up together for a long long time.

This scene is sooo 70s.

What’t the old saying? ‘Love laughs at locksmiths!’

The Liberty Bell telephone logo is a nice touch.

Will Janis have time to change out of her nightgown?

“…or can I?’

Back in the late 60’s, the High school I attended had a bank of about a dozen or more phone booths for 900 students. And standing in line to use the phone was just what we had to do.

Night. No lights on that 10 speed. I foresee trouble.

I dropped out of high school in 1975 and earned enough units at jc to get my diploma. I hated hs but loved college. I commuted on my Suzuki 250 instead of a bicycle though. Good times.

I like the OJ can hair rollers. I remember my sister wearing them.

Arlo’s a big man on campus. He’s got one of those fancy 10-speed bikes. Those hard-up for money usually just had one-speed bikes.
