Thanks for posting an excellent list of great things about the past.
I remember when kids could easily get work to earn money, like selling newspapers (I did).
And when the Sunday comics pages of newspapers were abundant and non-political - and funny.
When fun places for kids were abundant and low cost, like roller rinks, ice skating, soda fountains, museums & zoos (yes places were free for kids), drive-in movies, etc.
When parking spots were abundant, and parking meters took only a few pennies.
Free Parking is way underrated as one of the reasons America became Great.
