Things we remember that don't happen anymore.

I remember trolley cars in cities.

Pay phones and phone booths.
Calling a number for the correct time
Green stamps, plaid stamps
The Good Humor man.

I do too.. I was 12 years old in '67 when the last of the trolley buses ran on the tracks in my city

The Good Humor Man still comes around every summer with his goodies.

My mother telling me not to forget to bring in the milk before it froze and the glass bottle split…

We had a snow cone truck come through the neighborhood during the summer months.

And, a Helms bakery truck would come through in the mornings. I'd jump out of bed and go get a fresh maple bar or glazed doughnut.

I also remember when the TV went on the blink, we would take the bulb down to the corner store and test it in this machine they had. Haven't seen those things since.

Miss the phone booths too.

 

[Geezer Garage]

Where's a guy supposed to change into his superman outfit? or hang out with 6-8 of your best friends? Mike

Who He ?

 

[Murrmurr]

I remember my dad sending me to the little store with a note, "[Young Murr] has my permission to buy me 2 packs Marlboro."

I was 7. And the little store was about 1/2 mile away (a little over 0.8 kilometers).

There is also a movie made by Warner Brothers years ago, Holly, called The Good Humor Man and there's also a jingle song about the Good Humor Man. We still look forward to seeing him in the summer in our neighborhoods. Today there are many others who copied this concept as well so it varies from town to town, I believe.
