I think any year from say 1918 to 1925. Hang out with Marconi, DuMont, Bell, everything is new, everything is possible, or almost.

Zero regulation, zero airwave pollution. Government is still Small.

An attitude that the New World would not repeat the mistakes of old, and that Technology would make us all safe, healthy, and wealthy.

The Old Country was only a memory, large families lived often with the extended family (grandma, grandad) in tiny houses, but didn't know that they were crowded. That's just how it was. And it was better than their parents had.

Almost all food was grown locally, sometimes by people you knew. It was sold to you by a person you definitely knew. Everyone knew what a car was, but many had not even ridden in one yet. Ditto for aiplanes, but most summers there were young men, WWI vets, that would come round flying in with barrel-rolls over the town, and land in a farmer's field on the outskirts of town to sell rides.

You lived in a house that didn't look exactly like every other one on the block. In fact, your street had one or two empty lots, and maybe a semi-derelict house.

One of your neighbours had a Radiogramme, and your dad was reading up on how they worked and was planning to make one himself.
