Weekend Reading for 02/14/26
It’s been a long while since I shined the light on some great retro & nostalgia reads from around the web. Let’s remedy that and let me direct your attention to some content out there that you might have missed.
Let’s start with some of my friends here on Substack and see what they’ve shared with us recently.
Red-Handled Shovels and Casserole Dishes (The Last Free Range Kid: Stories From the South)
The Boy Who Jumped Off Roofs (Ninjas and Neon)
All I Really Need to Know I Learned From Sitcoms (GenXcellent)
Slice Soda (Retroist)
And now here are some things I’ve come across in the last week that I think you’ll enjoy…
15 Most Difficult Arcade Games Ever (Den of Geek)
When TV Shows Change and So Does Life (The Retro Dad)
5 Awesome Things on eBay This Week (Plaid Stallions)
And since I run The Retro Network, I would be remiss if I didn’t highlight a few of the new stories that have gone up on the site this week.
There is a TON of content at The Retro Network. Whenever you’re bored, hop over there and kill some time.
And finally, since it’s Valentine’s Day, here’s some stuff to tickle that particular itch:
7 Valentine’s Day Myths Debunked (Mental Floss)
10 Creepy Vintage Valentines (Listverse)
Retro Romance: Top 10 ‘80s Movies to Melt Your Heart on Valentine’s Day (The Retro Network)
Hopefully you’ll find some things here worth wasting a little time on this weekend.
