I can't decide if I love this thread for the trip down memory lane or hate it because it reminds me of how old I am.
Thanks for the great memories!!!

I remember taking my lunch to school grades 1 thru 6 in a metal lunch box with included thermos for my drink.

I remember unpasteurized milk being delivered to the door in bottles. But after it became pasteurized I sort of remember mom getting it from a store in the more modern squared hard wax paper containers. It wasn't something I paid any particular attention too. Cold milk was a real treat..

Who remembers pulling up to the gas pump and filling your vehicle then going inside to pay!

nobody trusts anyone anymore and sadly some would very likely fuel and run

 

[Redtruck-VA]

Before that era, you would pull in and an attendant would come out ask how much you wanted. If it was a fill up he would wash your windows and check your oil while it filled.

I sure remember those days and the low cost of fuel. I could drive my 1963 Chevy Nova up to a pump, while I was about on empty, and $5.00 would fill the fuel tank.

Whe I first moved into the area in the 80's there was still a ice plant you could buy blocks of ice. The plant is now gone but on the corner were it was there is now an old independent gas station that still has an attendant that pumps your gas. I don't remember if the station was there when the ice house was there. But it certainly looks old enough to have been. I was just across the street from it this morning at a Fisher auto part store thinking about it.

In town here there is a station that will pump for you when you drive up.
Cash only !
