American Pickers, Cape Breton Pickers

The passing of American Pickers cohost, Frank Fritz brought back many memories for Kevin. Memories of picking around rural Cape Breton as a child with his father and the power of being a collector. American Pickers has always been a show that brought Kevin comfort and a connection to his father. A heartfelt mini-tale.

Fearless Bicycle Adventures in the 1980s

Kevin reflects nostalgically on when parents and kids threw caution to the wind. BMX bikes, homemade plywood ramps, getting tied to trees, and not as many rules as we have today. Times have certainly changed and the rise of 80s nostalgia Instagram accounts and podcasts reflects a pining for the “Good Ole Days.” Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/652187626755803 Twitter (X): ⁠https://x.com/MadForMaple⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jlandkev⁠ Threads: ⁠https://www.threads.net/@jlandkev⁠ Blue Sky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.social
