Glass bottles of EVERYTHING-- ketchup, Mayo, soda, all.... .. I miss glass! And I miss returning soda bottles for money, going to the candy store and buying a huge bag of candy with the money.... and I miss people caring about people...not just about selfies.... everything from those days....sarsaparilla Soda, ZWIEBACH....

I miss the farmer coming by with tons of fruit in a horse drawn carriage and selling us cherries etc for just about nuthin... I miss soda fountains... I miss pharmacies with those big glass bottles filled with colored H2O-- and the pharmacist who knew me... and my family... and really cared about everyone. High ceilings

I miss the guy who used to ring his bell outside in his sharpening cart so I could bring out scissors, knives, lawn mower blades, etcetera for $5.00 to do all of them. I miss those little windows above doors...
I miss a world that was REAL... iced cream in paper cups, the milk man, my granpa, I miss not knowing what an AC was! lol... I miss claw foot tubs that you could swim in! Dang ... I miss a world long gone.
Nope, I don't want anymore Opinions from "News". I miss Huntley and Brinkley; and I miss kids,adults who can spell, have proper grammar, I miss mail boxes, I miss real mail.....I miss the old NYT. Player Pianos!
I miss Woolworth's..I miss the Automat-- Horn and Hardart Automat! Great place.... ..
