Yes! That would be awesome 😎
No. I don't care for history.

Spend an entire day walking the streets. Going through stores. Having lunch at an old restaurant. Watching the people and listening to what they are talking about. Maybe going to a car dealership and test driving your favorite classic car when it was bran new. Would you consider that a fun day? You would be the same age you are now and provided with the appropriate attire of the day. You can't change history and this is just for a day. You would be back home that evening.

I would fly to England, or France, and THEN go back in time to the Regency period. I would like to find a place in London serving High Tea, and dress in the clothing of the period. OR, in Paris, I would like to observe Toulouse Lautrec creating art on tablecloths at the Moulin Rouge.

That would be amazing, I'd goback to when I was young and photograph me and my family and where we lived .

Yes, I'd go back about 20 or 30 years if it was just for a quick visit.

I had to run an errand this morning in the city, and since it took me near the mall, I decided to stop and take a look; I hadn't been down there since some time before covid.

And...Sears is gone! 😞 It isn't unexpected, because I'd heard they hadn't been doing well for a while. But they've been the anchor store at every mall in this area since malls began. Also, I have fond memories of the giant Sears Roebuck catalog that contained everything from back to school clothing to farm implements and animals.

@SW-User I am glad you had a good day. If you went back in time, what year would you go to? Is there any city you would like it to be in? Any special time of the year?
SW-User
@Musicman Not sure what year I would visit exactly, but somewhere between 1990 and 2000 in summer or fall, and it would be right where I live. Back in those days, we had wonderful restaurants and all kinds of shopping right in my own town. I have many fond memories of meeting family and friends for shopping and dining out at those places, all gone now...

@SW-User Sounds like a good time and place to go to. 🙂

@ShiftingGears Load up and let's go! 😎
AbbeyRhode · F
I'd love that. The hard part would be choosing a year to go back to. ☺️
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@AbbeyRhode No one says it has to be one trip. What are a couple of times you would like to go back to?
AbbeyRhode · F
@Musicman Wow, so many choices. I would want to revisit places and events from my youth, as well as events from history. Imagine actually hearing Lincoln or Washington speak. The ultimate, of course, would be to go way back and hear Jesus give the Sermon On The Mount.
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@AbbeyRhode I love it! How awesome! 🙂🙂🙂
FurryFace · 61-69, M

Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@cherokeepatti What time and place would you like to go back to?
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
I would love to go back in time for just a day. I'd visit the early 1900s, the 20s, the 50s, the 60s, and the 70s (each one on a different day).
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@DearAmbellina2113 Yes!!!! 🙂🙂🙂 Is there any special city or cities you would like to visit?
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
@Musicman Sooooo many, too many to list!
Jimbo7 · M
@DearAmbellina2113 I will go with you
"Let's go!!"

I will like to go back to September 2003 and make some decision correct
WhatLifeIsFor · 41-45, M
@Musicman Well i know that is not possible but it is just a wish🙂
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@WhatLifeIsFor How would you approach your younger self? How would you convince them it was actually you? Spill the details? Is there a time and place in history you would like to see for a day?
WhatLifeIsFor · 41-45, M
@Musicman well i don't know how will i approch my younger self. but i will like to visit the tea shop where my friends and I used to sit every evening and discussed out future plans and dreams. At that time we had no exposure to uncertainity of life. I may share my failures with my younger self

Silly as this sounds,i would wish to watch a huge Napoleonic era battle,like Waterloo,Eylau or Borodino.We have old jerky footage from WW1,in black and white.WW2 there is some colour footage.But obviously no film of the Napoleonic era.
There would have been over maybe 30000 men on both sides in quite a small area,in garishly coloured uniforms,all marching over the fields and cannon and huge cavalry forces charging here and there,it would have been an awe inspiring sight.If you could have stood on a hilltop in the distance and just observed.

@wonkywinky You'd see a lot of horrors...battles of those times were filled with cannon balls blowing off heads, guts on the ground, and all the screaming...
wonkywinky · 51-55, M
@4meAndyou Would be a hell of a spectacle.
wonkywinky · 51-55, M
Watch a Gladiator fight at the Colosseum.
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
It would be an experience, to go through all the decades since the inception of this country. Idk how fun it would be tho, since I wouldn't be allowed in restaurants etc bc of my skin color lol
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@deadgerbil Sorry ☹️ There have always been restaurants that would accept you though. 🙂
Jimbo7 · M
@deadgerbil we will educate them Dear

SW-User
@Musicman scary 😂
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@V00doo Is there any special time period or city you would like to visit?
SnailTeeth · 36-40, M
Knowing I won't die now... I want to go back to one of those days where I had severe food poisoning, and maybe spend a day just collapsing on the floor at the mall and traumatising people, while I puke and crap everywhere! 😂
MoonaNorth86 · 36-40, F
Or seeing what the future holds
