Certainly times are changing….good and bad. I came across a list from WalletPop of “25 Things That Are Vanishing from America” and there is some real nostalgia here.
· Pit Toilets (also known as Outhouses)
· Yellow Pages
· Classified Ads
· Movie Rental Stores
· Dial-Up Internet Access
· Phone Landlines
· Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs
· VCR’s
· Ash Trees
· Ham Radio
· The Swimming Hole
· Answering Machines
· Cameras that use film
· Incandescent Bulbs
· Stand-alone Bowling Alleys
· The Milkman
· Hand-Written Letters
· Wild Horses
· Personal Checks
· Drive-In Theatres (405)
· Mumps & Measles
· Honey Bees
· News Magazines and TV News
· Analog TV
· The Family Farm
By the way they also had a list of business and companies that are gone and here are some of them. Do you remember Paine-Webber, Eastern Airlines,
Lionel Corporation, RCA, Adelphia Cable, EF Hutton, Burger Chef, TWA, General Foods, Standard Oil, Montgomery Ward, FW Woolworth and Enron?
