What was 1963 Like? USPS Zip Code...

The Year the US Post Master introduced the Zip Code!

What was 1963 like?

The Beatles had short hair !http://johnochwat.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/beatles_1963.jpg

Founded in Liverpool during the late '50s by guitarists John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, with drummer Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe on bass, the Beatles were just getting started...



Elvis Presley was canned !

1963, Elvis Presley, the man who caused stage-rushing among teenage girls, fistfights amongst boys, and riots among both, was a family-friendly icon of the first order. Worse than that, he was a marketable brand name, as evidenced by Andy Warhol's "pop art" renderings of Elvis that year.


Kennedy, Marilyn and civil rights riots! The world was changing rapidly and the USPS established Zip Codes. 1963, what a year!
