I remember when..............

I remember the little mom and pop store every other block (so it seemed).
You could get 2 pieces of candy for a penny (mint leaves, bubble gum, lemon drops, black jack licorice ,etc.). They also sold lunch meat that they would slice pieces off the long tubes.

Watching Captain Kangaroo .
Safety restraints in cars were mom or dad's arm swing across in front of you when they had to stop the car fast.
