Polk Salad. As an east coast boy transplanted in the west I miss it.

Kids playing in the streets of neighborhoods. It's become pretty rare in my neck of the woods.

Open spaces. Everything is starting to connect out there now.

Fender Bass VI. Wish I could have bought one back in the day when they were cheap. Today they cost about as much as a new Toyota!

Doctors making "house calls". When I was a kid in the sixties my father was a doctor with the classic black bag. I remember going with him to see patients in their own home, making a diagnosis with no labs, x-rays or tests and treating them with the meds he carried in the bag.

You don't see that happening much anymore.

Anyone remember the underground Monopoly game "Risk"? Early 70's game came in a 3' tube like a joint where you bought and sold lbs, sheets of windowpane & k's, would occasionally get busted, bought Ferraris, women and houses. Whoever landed up with all the money and dope won.

Manners in youths. Has that been said yet?

 

[Definitely]

Kids putting baseball cards in the spokes of their bike wheels to get that "motor" sound.

My friends and I used to ride over cans with our back wheels and it would stick and make the sound, never tried cards though, how does that work?

With a clothespin you set the card slightly into your spokes.
Wheel turns and flaps the card. No wearing down of the tires, just use a card that youve got doubles on.

Full on bush.

Matchbooks - when every restaurant, hotel, gas station, etc. gave out a matchbook with their advertising. I used to collect them. I probably have thousands, but can't get many anymore.

my dad did the same! I need to find if my mom still kept his black bag. I remember one time we had to go to elementary school dressed as our father's profession, and it's the only time he let me take his bag.
