Reel to reels had a great sound. Converse were the only gym shoe. Ford gum machines were in all the stores. Wax harmonicas at Halloween. Plastic head Halloween costumes with an elastic band in the back. Riding bikes without helmets. CTA busses with electric poles on the top of the bus (OK that was a Chicago thing). Marx Electro Shot shooting gallery, Rock em Sock em robots, Lightning bug glow juice, toss across, mood rings, and board games. Tag your it.

The kids in our neighborhood are outside a lot. In the summertime they are pretty much out all day.
When I was a kid, not only did we get up to change the channel, somebody had to go outside and turn the pole that the antenna was attached to. Somebody else stood inside the living room and knocked on the window when the picture was good.

Movie theaters with only one screen.
Wearing pajamas to the drive-in.
Chalkboards.
Food actually made in the school cafeteria, not just warmed up.
Metal lunchboxes with a matching thermos.

TV dinners that were warmed in the oven. Dialing a phone withouth the need to dial the area code first. Waiting and waiting by the radio to hear a song you want to hear. Calling the movie theater to find out what's playing and having to listen to the entire recorded loop of movie times. The sound of the neighborhood moms yelling for their kids when it was time for dinner. I could go on and on..
