Sex. The older I get the less I get. Which is too bad since all the stuff still works.

Yeah, there was a Kmart 3/4 mile from my house. It had been open 50 years. Now gone. I was a regular there for a long time. And the nearest Sears is 12 or so miles away. There was another closer, in a mall, but the whole mall went belly up.

Dime stores (such as Kresge--the progenitor of KMart--Woolworth, Cornet, Newberry, etc).
Drive-in (as opposed to drive-through) restaurants. Anybody here remember carhops?
Helms bakery trucks (we used to have our dairy products and baked goods delivered)
Toy stores--both the large chains, e.g., Toys "R" Us and KayBee, and the independents.
Neighborhood movie theaters (aka "nabes"), complete with ushers, and for children's matinees, matrons (!)
Affordable housing.
True 9-5 jobs that paid a living wage, and a propos of that--unions.

strike on any surface stick matches. I know they are out there, but they are hard to find.

Another one gone these days. Straws with paper wrappers you could blow off. Nowadays they fit so tightly you have to peel them. Not much fun in that.
