1. Gas <$3.00/gallon.
2. Orange crush has nothing on Nehi...bring back more Nehi.
3. I wish the work world had nap time like we did in Kindergarten.
4. Baseball without a DH.
5. Sports always played outside (no more domes/fake turf).

They can keep most of the rest of their list - other than the gas $ and the free air. It's $1.00 at some joints now to get air for your tires. Why?

I agreed with a lot of those. Gas attendants would be awesome. LOL!

I wish safe streets for kids to play would come back. :roll:

gas at 59 cents a gallon (with higher octanes), with an increase of cigarette tax to $5 a pack (just for tax)

the days when you could go to bed at night and not have to go through the house and give it an all secure once over, before setting the alarm. (and that's in a good neighborhood)

Good stuff! I miss cheap gas, the ice cream man and real people answering calls. Oh yeah, I do miss the good ole' days of MTV before it got too wild and before it turned into reality TV. Other things:

-I miss Megos (although I have one).
-Saturday morning being the prime time for cartoons
-dodgeball (and killerball at camp)
-station wagons!
-record stores like Turtles
-Po Folks restaurant
-arcades
-cartoons before movies

We have the ice cream man! Of course.. we worry he is a perv. :lol:

Real people answering phone calls.. who doesn't miss that!?

I agree on Saturday Cartoons! WHAT is the World coming to?

Po Folks!!! We ate at one on the way home from PCB! It was in Enterprise Alabama. There is also on we have ate at in Warner Robbins Georgia.
We were discussing that they need to make a come back. There just aren't good home cooking places like that anymore. It was soooooooo good!!!!

Me too! I miss the mason drinking jars at Po' Folks. And my first car was a Ford Escort Wagon... close to a station wagon anyway. LOL!

I miss those cool movies that would come on after all the cartoons on Saturdays.

Viewmasters. (A BBQ restaurant we went to, brought out their dessert menu in one! How could you resist that?)

Those trays that Sonic would bring out that fit onto your rolled-down window.

How about the classic Wonderful World of Disney? They may still do something like that but I remember when it was always some cool movie. Guess what I watched last Saturday? "Escape from Witch Mountain" Remember that one? I loved it as a kid, along with ones like "Hot Lead, Cold Feet," "The Apple Dumplin Gang" and "Candleshoe." and oh yeah, the original "Freaky Friday" with Jodie Foster.

Yeah Dewayne, we've been catching most of those and putting them on DVD for the kids, they are classics!

I have wondered why they don't add a Classic Disney channel, they could just rerun all those old movies, Mickey Mouse Club, etc and I know it'd get watched.

.79 per gallon gasoline

Bugs Bunny cartoons on Saturday morning

Three Stooges on Sundays (uncut)

Bream or crappie fishing in the summer at night

Anticipating the new Hank, Jr. cassette

Being free enough to buy cigarettes for my mom when I was 8 (not that
I want anyone smoking, but I like a world free enough to let that happen. My mother should've known better, but the government and the store were rightly not in the middle of that). You may all excoriate me, now! :lol: Hopefully you get the point that what I miss is the freedom that we used to have before society decided we all needed to police each other.

_______________

1954 Buicks.

And better still; 1934 Chevrolet Coupes that you can buy at a Police Auction for $25.00. (My first car, drove it home).

And .79 cent gas? How about .20 cent gas?

Along those lines Mister Ed:

Classic Body Beetles.

Other wishes:

- Sports cards in Sugar Daddies.
- Alka Seltzers stacked in glass bottles
-and Yes Coke tasted SO MUCH better from a glass bottle.

3. COKE in a bottle - Many have already said this but I have to send out an AMEN!
