And how about Jehovah's Witnesses who went door to door?

They still come around. I'm always nice, but tell them the same thing. They're a persistent bunch.

Around here, I only seem them handing out literature at transit stations.

If they're still going door-to-door in other places,
I wonder if they sometimes cross paths
with the Mormon missionaries...

"Eh... not bad, not great... how about with you?"

They crossed paths quite often in our town.

When hit songs were covered by several different singers, all of which got airplay. Like "Girl on Fire" or "Kung Fu Fighting" by Perry Como.

I grew up in suburban LA. Like many other places, we had milk trucks coming around
in the early morning, depositing dairy products on peoples' porches. And ice cream trucks
in the summer time. But we also had bakery trucks cruising the neighborhoods in the afternoons,
announcing their approach by beeping their horns. Housewives would meet the trucks to buy bread,
and of course we kids demanded some kind of sweet treat.

[PAhippo]

we did have bakery trucks or ice cream trucks but we a company (Hall's I think) that would deliver big cans of pretzels and potato chips, and the best store bought, as opposed to home made, I've ever had. I think they only came around once a month.
