We still have a few here in coastal Mississippi. But the corporate joints have taken over. OTOH Waffle House is not terrible, and there's one every mile or two around here...

I suspect that there are still some around in the northeastern U.S. too. Diners were big in NY state.

Diners were amazing as you could get a seriously big cheese burger , still plenty in NY but yes not like 10 years ago .

We had one of these in grade school with soap dispensers. I can still almost remember that smell of the institutional soap.

I can remember as a teenager desperate for dates every Saturday night. If all my friends had dates and I did not, then I was very sad since I could not join all my friends that week for the big night out.

I also remember all the great radio programs of the past: "The Shadow," "Inner Sanctum," "Superman," etc. You can still listen to some of those great oldies here:

I didn't start listening to radio drams until the early '50s, when the medium was wearing down. But I do remember "Inner Sanctum", "The Lone Ranger", "Fibber McGee & Molly", and a few others.

You can still get many of these old shows online, e.g. on YouTube. Once in awhile I'll put one on just to enjoy the experience of imagining the scenes and actors. TV ruined all that.

When in college in the latter '60s, the campus radio station would play an episode of The Shadow every Sunday night. It had quite a following.

We had those central wash-your-hand-things at Packard Electric, which was the GM wiring division I worked for in the late 60’s-early 70’s. Put your foot on the pedal stand there and enjoy a communal hand washing, plus gossip fest after coming out of the rest room.

I thought they were slick, they were kept spotless, always had soap in the dispenser, and there was no excuse for anyone to not wash their hands

@Imogene

My daughter's high-school had that type of hand-washers. I think they're cool.

I remember having to wear these “gym suits” for PE in school.
