Welcome to Baby Boomer HeadQuarters, the spot on the net for true baby boomers... or baby boomers at heart. Your host is Hershel Chicowitz.

We have memorabilia, pictures, posters and autographs, trivia, pictures, books, lyrics, music, and memories of the most exciting decades of the century: the 50s, 60s and 70s.

At our Online Registry, you can post your name and look for your classmates. Reunion Central features an online registry and reunion pictures and commentary of Shaker Heights High School alumni. (We can do the same for your high school or college class. Click here to see an example.)

In This Week with the Chicowitz, Hershel tells us more about things to come:

State and local governments will have to struggle to keep their employees paid. With the heightened awareness of the debt and high rate of taxes, these governments may not be able to increase taxes. And that means that you will have fewer services and will be assessed fees for things you never imagined.  
 

The BBHQ Featured Album is the "Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)," Simon & Garfunkel. If you were fortunate enough to see them in concert in 2003, I do not have to sell you. The concert was terrific! This album collection includes 55 songs, plus their new recording, "Citizen of the Planet," and one of the songs sung by the Everly Brothers during the concert. The DVD was recorded during their concert in Madison Square Garden.  Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)
For any S&G fan, this is a must have! But then, you knew that already, didn't you?

BBHQ is a "Family Values" Site:
Our site is aimed at young-at-heart boomers, but all of the material here is "family-oriented."

And we encourage you to let your kids wander around here. Let them see what it was like in "the good ol' days."
