I’m so old, I remember when most towns did not even have a Walmart.

*************************************************************

I’m so old I remember that in Utah NOT ONE STORE was open on Sundays...(now that is OLD)

I remember that sort of scenario too except for the Cafes - they were open after Church for lunch, and a lot of those weren’t open either.

In fact all of the businesses on the square were closed - you had to drive to those locations that were on the highway in between towns.

Then in the late 60s, we had “blue” laws. You couldn’t even buy a light bulb on Sunday. Ha.

I remember that in Texas too. It was no hardship. And if one truly had a need a neighbor was ready to help. I really am on the old lady slides being cooped up by weather.
