Kids being able to roam the neighborhood with their friends safely. To be able to ride their bikes to school. No video games and going to a movie was an event.

I rember clouds of butterflies, the little ones that loved mud puddles....before pesticides...
A big black iron kitchen range to cook on. It didn't take much wood to get it hot.... the temperature range over the top was fantastic, just sliding the pot around to exactly the right spot.(they could re-invent that)
Our first house came with a bendix all in one washer dryer, that you put dirty clothes in, and they came out clean and dry! It roared and whirled and I just loved it! LOL!
Once,
nobody locked their doors, we did not even have a key for our back door. People were honest and respected each other, and were quick to lend a helping hand.

A ringer washer was just what's on my mind also. I am in the market for a new washer, and I just don't like the new models. Too bad they stop making them.

I would love to buy a loaf of bread for 5 cents and a gallon of gas for your car for 19 cents.

I agree with Diannia. A full-service gas station...Heaven! And, I would love to use a phone that places and receives calls and doesn't take pictures, play games, play music, search the internet, etc.

I would love all the things you have asked for but this is my biggest complaint. They want everything to be done by computer and they wonder why there is no work.
