I'm so old I Remember when:

[R2elk]

I remember the community laundry with ringer washing machines and getting my nightly bath in the galvanized was tubs.

My washing machine back in the '70s was a ringer washer.

 

[Nomadicus]

We still have 2 drive in theaters.

For the movies? Or parking spaces?

 

[R2elk]

Was it uphill and were you barefooted

It was uphill walking back from the bus stop to the house. Barefoot was for the summer not for walking in the snow although I can show proof that I have walked barefoot in the snow.

I remember having bantam setting hens arriving by train. That's the day I learned what FOB meant.

For the movies? Or parking spaces?

For the movies. They're only open during the summer months, but they're both packed every night.

 

[BarnyardChaos]

8-track and Cassette tapes. I still have a bunch of 'em.
Wearing a girdle. Elephant pants. Bouffant hairdos.
Twiggy.
Roller skating waitresses at Sonic, and ice cream sundaes served in glass sundae dishes.
Fallout shelters.
Smoking on an airplane.
That blinking "C:" on the screen of our first computer. With the 8-inch floppy drive.
Route 66 was the only road through to Southern CA.
Being mad my sister got to go to Woodstock and I couldn't go.
Buying a "lid" of pot in high school for $40.
go-go boots, oh how I wanted those!
My brother whooping and tearing up his draft card when the draft ended two weeks before he was supposed to report for basic training, and two younger brothers heaving the biggest sighs of relief. Narrow escape.
Being in the front row of the theater the weekend "Jaws" was released.
Being in the middle row when "Rocky Horror Picture Show" was released.
My first Barbie - 1958 (yes, 1958 stamped on her butt. Even though all sources say she was first released in 1959). I still have her. She's for sale, any takers?
Cigarette vending machines.
Full-service gas stations. My step-mom getting one gallon of gas in Flagstaff, AZ when it was 25-cents. The attendant telling her, "Lady, that won't get you to California." And her response, "No, but it'll get me to the next station where it's cheaper!"

I'll rephrase that. For the movies or the Sparking spaces?

Uphill both ways, and barefooted in 3-feet of snow!
