Thank you all for these posts. I think given the State of our Union right now nostalgia is becoming to be at the forefront of a lot of people's minds.

A lot of people do wish for those good ole days.

I remember when America had a President most of the citizens respected!

I remember when you could walk around oblivious to your
surroundings without the fear that someone would disturb
you except to maybe ask directions somewhere.

Kids had no fear riding around visiting neighbors blocks away
that your parents didn't even know.

Go on a hike in the woods or large park in the city without fear.

I had to learn to be cautious of strangers, poking around abandoned houses, getting a ride home from someone who lived around the neighborhood that I didn't necessarily know.

You get the idea? When first moving to a city, got into a few jams due to my gullibility. It made me hard and suspicious. Sad.

I remember when someone walking around talking to seemingly no one in particular was though to have a psychiatric disorder .

When a person was using hand gestures and speaking loudly to no seen person in particular was thought delusional and an ambulance called.

When a person standing in front of u in line says “says excuse me” u just nodded and figured they let out a silent one or burped.

When a person went to a store they said hello to the person they were walking by not someone u can’t see

Cellphones. Now if u don’t walk around talking to seemingly no one u r thought to be crazy for not keeping up with technology.

Oh and by the way. Plato also longed for the good old days when youth behaved and did not cause a ruckus.

Parking meters took pennies, nickels, and dimes!

Yes ! And to `spend a penny` meant to use a public toilet which had a lock on requiring a penny to access it.

The excitement of arriving to pick up your photos and hoping they all turned out!

In the early 70's, I had an amazing little orangie-red Opel GT. I used to fill the tank for around $3.50. The tank held 14 gallons and gas was a quarter a gallon.
To compare, gas prices the day before Trump was inaugurated were $1 a gallon. The day after, they doubled to $2 a gallon. Now they average about $2.59 per gallon, and this is in fracking crazy South Texas.
