Remember all of them. Also no dryer. Hung all the clothes. Mix starch for the shirts by boiling water and adding little bricks of starch. No Kleenex...ironed handkerchiefs.
Wooden toys, no plastic. Good DAYS!
All except 4 and 5. We weren't allowed to have 13. And the wash-tub wringer was my grandma's.
But "coffee shops"? Didn't those start with *$$? I well remember diners (not coffee shops) with jukeboxes at the table.
Yes I remember the jukeboxes at the tables but not coffee shops until later. Recently when someone was asking me about the way things used to be I mentioned Party lines. The 20 y'o' could not imagine a telephone like that.
I remember cigarettes in a vending machine that returned your 2 cents in the
package. Cigarettes were 28 cents. Also on street corners there were penny
gum machines BlackJack my favorite. Also remember all of the above, too.
