We took up archery golf after Jarts were stopped. Twice as dangerous and twice the fun. 100 yards between holes (haybales) some shots blind over hills or around a bend. Par 3 (shots) into the bale.

Not sure when this went 100% but X-ray film for medical imagining is mostly gone. It’s now all digital HD.

Frost Bank used to give you just the time and temperature. Back in the 60’s and 70’s.
Now if you call that number you get a Frost Bank ad. Then time and temp.

Yeah but I was talking about things you can still buy new.
And yes, you can buy new cb radios. Lots of people are putting them in their ATVs.

That’s smart. A buddy of mine has 1,000 in west Texas with NO cell phone service. I wonder if he’s considered CB’s?

We have a real phone booth in our local Kroger. It’s for nostalgia but works. I love it!

Yawn darts.
Metal slides that would burn your azz at parks.
Swings that hung by chains that if you slung them just right, you could knock someone’s teeth out.
Kids that walk to school or ride their bikes.
Ronco TV commercials
Billy Graham crusades on prime time TV.
SRA reading kits.
