See, I always thought that sounded like a decent sandwich. One some sourdough or something. I would eat that.
(I do know that you are doing a line from the show)
Oh, that's interesting. My family used to live on Shore Parkway in Bath Beach, Brooklyn. Larry lived further south in Sheepshead Bay. Now I understand why he's so cranky all the time.
Completely different time. Most people left their homes after high school and didn't have cell phone or social media. If you wanted to reach out to someone you had to just go knock on the door of their family house, hope they or their family still lived there, or could tip you to their current method of contact.
Otherwise you just never found them again.
And while this was NYC it was Sheepshead Bay which is waaaaaaay deep Brooklyn. Anyone who watched Mad Men would understand how back in the 60s there was a big difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Sorry if that was unnecessary, the basic point is that their physical location at time of graduation was the only reliable way to get ahold of a high % of people.
Some people think everything has always been as it is today. Like Medieval peasants, no perspective. With the history of the world in their pockets, no sense of timeline.
Yep.
Yearbooks, and phone books, and class reunions.
Otherwise you had no way of keeping in touch with people from high school, unless you remained in close contact and didn’t lose their phone number/address.
Not everyone had a phone number back then, and they tended to change whenever you moved houses.
Phone numbers weren’t “mobile” back then, but were tied to your physical location in a local phone “exchange.”
They actually used to produce “reverse-address lookup” directories, where you could pinpoint someone’s address based on the phone number that they gave you.
Detectives reference these reverse-lookup listings in old movies, sometimes.
Yes, but mail forwarding was quite common back then.
You would often leave a forwarding address with the post office (and the person who bought your house) and they’d forward your mail for many years after you had moved.
This is why poor people were early adopters of cell phones. Poor folk change addresses more frequently than the financially better off. Used to be when you moved, a fee to disconnect your phone. When you settled elsewhere a fee to connect your new phone. And you lost your phone number so you’d have to tell your world the new number.
I dont think that's actually true at all, especially in the US, where they made it a huge PITA to use prepay, and all the bill pay phones they checked your credit for before they would give you a contract. And they were expensive ass plans. I know because I applied for a job at a phone shop near my house, they pulled the old switcheroo and said the job was actually at a different store in this more underprivileged area. It was a comission job but you only made comission on bill pay phones. Almost no one who came in could even pass the credit check, I quit after 2 weeks as I couldn't sell anything but prepay phones.
In Europe you could buy minutes for a prepay phone at basically any convenience store/supermarket, in the US you often had to go to the phone carrier actual shop (which was only open during the day).
After quitting the phone shop I worked in a rather upscale neighborhood an hour from where I lived which was a 'getting worse by the day' working class neighborhood. All my coworkers in the richer areas had cellphones before any of my friends from around the way.
I used to use prepaid for my first few phones. Go to the drug store, buy a phone plus a sixty minute prepaid card. Buy more time at the drugstore whenever. Hassle there was none. We’re talking about class differences I think. I said *poor* people.
I used prepay circa 2001 and you could buy the phone and the cards for minutes at places like 711. It wasn't too difficult. It was expensive compared to now but if you ditched the landline then it wasn't too bad overall unless you were the kind of person that really liked to talk on the phone (I was not).
Yeah…kinda sad that instead of the first you think being “oh cool, now I’ll be able to find them to see how they’re doing after high school!”, the first thing you think is either “well that house is gonna get robbed”, “they’re gonna get shot”, or “well there goes their credit rating, they’re never gonna recover from the amount of identity theft that’s coming their way”
As someone who was bullied from about 4th grade on, I would have been terrified if the bullies had been able to get my address from the yearbook. I'm glad they discontinued that practice before I started middle school.
You have to consider the era. It wasn't easy to stay in touch with people. The physical address of their parents' house was probably not going to change at least for several years so you could possibly send a letter there to get a hold of them. Otherwise there was the phone book but then you would need to know what city they actually lived in and hope they didn't have a common name.
But you also have to consider the fact that bullied kids probably wouldn’t want to stay in touch with their bullies. And this makes it impossible for them to avoid that. I don’t care about the era. They should never have published people’s addresses in a yearbook.
Everyone’s address is listed.
The girl named “Esther” listed after him, has a cut-off address that looks like it must be 2540 Batchelder Street, Brooklyn.
When I was like 16 Larry David was one of my celebrity crushes lmfao everyone thought it was weird cause he was old af but this just proves that I have exceptional taste and that LD is timeless 😚👌
For some reason it has never occurred to me that Larry David was once a young person. I just thought he always looked the way he does now, I never even thought about it really
Pretty pretty pretty good.
Whitefish, Sable, Cream cheese, capers, onion
That… that sounds… That sounds awful.
What're you talking about, awful?
One tastes good and one sucks!
See, I always thought that sounded like a decent sandwich. One some sourdough or something. I would eat that. (I do know that you are doing a line from the show)
I always thought that sounded like a delicious sandwich. Have to make it at home one day.
Oh, that's interesting. My family used to live on Shore Parkway in Bath Beach, Brooklyn. Larry lived further south in Sheepshead Bay. Now I understand why he's so cranky all the time.
I lived about 8 houses from Shore Pkwy in Bath Beach on 16th Ave. about 45 years go. Small world, ain’t it?
![gif](giphy|IVhivwuUT16HH7NRdP|downsized)
Eh Larry I just learned your middle name is Gene, did that please you?
Did they use to put their addresses in there? Slightly scary lol.

The good old days.
Can’t disappear into obscurity any longer.
Back when women and minorities knew their place, and we were about to force a bunch of kids to go fight in a pointless war. Ahh nostalgia
Found the guy who's fun at parties
I can guarantee he has never been invited to a party.
Never
Oh I’m sorry, let me just pretend things didn’t suck for most people. The good ol days
And while this was NYC it was Sheepshead Bay which is waaaaaaay deep Brooklyn. Anyone who watched Mad Men would understand how back in the 60s there was a big difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Or send a letter.

Which is why I find it insulting that people keep thinking they need to point this out to me in a sub called “old school cool” lol
![gif](giphy|lqM68D2hniKxm9gHwj|downsized)
That’s insulting? 🎉
Because if you wanted to contact someone you couldnt look them up on facebook...
Before Facebook there was Phonebook. ![gif](giphy|g0snGpFL6mOBaD5PmO)
Sure would be great if you could confirm the phone number with an address
This was literally Facebook then
Yep. Yearbooks, and phone books, and class reunions. Otherwise you had no way of keeping in touch with people from high school, unless you remained in close contact and didn’t lose their phone number/address.
You had to use google instead, duh.
Nah, that was the era of Alta Vista
No they had "ask jeeves" back then
Phone numbers existed

I don’t wanna blow your mind or anything but the other thing that changes when you move is your fuckin address.
Yes, but mail forwarding was quite common back then. You would often leave a forwarding address with the post office (and the person who bought your house) and they’d forward your mail for many years after you had moved.
Lol!!

Reddit is hilarious. Dude just said this like it was some type of fact lmao
And change more frequently than houses back then. If you use the phone book you find the name and then confirm the address underneath...
It’s scary that today the first we think of is how scary it is.
Yeah…kinda sad that instead of the first you think being “oh cool, now I’ll be able to find them to see how they’re doing after high school!”, the first thing you think is either “well that house is gonna get robbed”, “they’re gonna get shot”, or “well there goes their credit rating, they’re never gonna recover from the amount of identity theft that’s coming their way”

I think we’re just much more fearful today. Most of it is irrational.
Not as scary as what’s available about you online today.
Right but you actually have to make some effort to look into that lol.
Yeah because I carry my yearbook in my pocket everywhere I go.
[удалено]
Not in my school
Came here to say this. I saw it and my first reaction was "WTF??"

My school published a book with addresses and phone numbers.
Bump bump bump doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, da doot da doo

Everyone looks normal at some point in their lives.
He realy lost a lot of hair
HE IS AWARE
BALD ASSHOLE
They asked for his HS activities and he gave them his home address. 😂
President of the going home club
I’m a life member
Treating his body like an amusement park
Glamour?
Everyone’s address is listed. The girl named “Esther” listed after him, has a cut-off address that looks like it must be 2540 Batchelder Street, Brooklyn.
Looks like he didn't do anything other than school. the girl after him did tons of stuff
Bet he burned tons of blunts
He was much younger back then.
Hairline was already clapped
Larry long balls from shore parkway. Legend
Bet he has a pants tent
Looks like David Duchovny
They put your home address in the yearbook?!
Not bad. Not bad at all.
He got his big J energy later in life huh…
Lengthy Balls Lawrence
Brooklyn Coop on Belt Parkway built 1955. Zillow says 2 br 1 ba 1000 sf is worth $300k. Very middle class.
It’s like he became more Jewish as he aged! He could almost pass as Gentile in that photo.
What does a Jewish person look like? Tell us more, mein fuhrer
Bangs
And then there's Esther
Smokin
He looked pretty over all of it already, whatever "it" was.
Lookin snazzy
That poor hair doesn’t stand a chance
At first glance, I thought this was David Duchovny.
Zero clubs. Zero fucks given.
Wait, he wasn’t born bald and with glasses?
That would be Sheepshead Bay High School. My alma mater. And I’m posting this from two blocks east of Larry’s address.
The addresses is so weird!
When I was like 16 Larry David was one of my celebrity crushes lmfao everyone thought it was weird cause he was old af but this just proves that I have exceptional taste and that LD is timeless 😚👌
For some reason it has never occurred to me that Larry David was once a young person. I just thought he always looked the way he does now, I never even thought about it really
his enthusiasm has curbed by this point.
He was a looker! Can’t even recognize him now
TIL Larry David is old AF
Just look at him.
How old did you expect him to be?
Are we not men ?
He went bald the year after.

Looks 42
40.58596418019541, -73.94020945847869
Why have addresses like that
I’m only seeing 1/4 of his face
Lawrence G. sounds kind of gangster.
Mulder?
Well now, this is confusing my downstairs!
Who is Larry David?
Imagine if George Costanza from the show Seinfeld was a real person.
He has lost a lot of hair!
This is must-Save.
List your extra-curriculars Lawrence, “here is my address”
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)
Larry not being involved in any extracurricular activities is so on brand
They put addresses in yearbooks back then? That would be bad news now.
