Showing Original Post only (View all)OWN a Backpack? [View all]

A few years back, BACKPACKS became a trendy thing in the City by the Bay. Everyone had them from young kids to Seniors. I have bought several back than and still use them. I think they are great for hauling around my lap top or for just getting stuff at the store. So I am curious about the rest of the country... ARE backpacks popular where you live, and if so...do you own one?
