Also, obsolete is the little horsey ride found outside of K Marts or grocery stores you had to put a quarter in and it would rock back and forth.

The Sears catalog just in time for Christmas. I spent many hours looking at all the cool toys I'd never get.

Another one that should be on the list is music stores. They were everywhere when vinyl, tape and CD were the typical music formats.

The days take so long to get through. But the years just fly by.

I remember my mom buying the TV guide for the week when she did the weekly grocery shopping on Friday....I read it cover to cover and circled the "must see" shows for the upcoming week....did anyone else do that?

There's a weird feeling of sadness that comes from this. Like the life you knew is over. I understand one day we'll look back at current items with that same feeling though. Everything is relative. Yet I can't help but reflect with a bit of sadness about days long gone. I'm only in my 30s, so I imagine someone older feels it even more.

You didn't say it, but I miss having a phone hanging on the wall in my kitchen the most. I was at an indoor pool with my wife and kids last weekend and I saw approximately 25% of the adults with cell phones in a watertight case in the pool. It amazes me that when I was a kid, in the 80s, we could go on vacation for a week or two and leave our phone hanging on the wall in the kitchen. Now, we can't even go swimming without it.

I miss catalogs, Sears, J.C. Penney, Spiegel, Victoria's Secret. Also really miss pay phones and the Sunday paper (printed on paper), sections scattered all over the house on Sunday.

I can remember the photo booths they used to have at malls and amusement parks in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

I discovered a cache of old office supplies at work: adding machine paper, typewriter ribbons, stamps with date rolls ending in 99, fax paper. I had fun explaining to the young people what each thing was, I felt like an archeologist!

[Porschedriver]

Anyone remember checkbooks and bank savings books?!
The teller would add the interest and amounts manually in the book!

Waking up in the morning before sunrise and reading my newspaper and having my coffee was the most peaceful part of my day years ago. It prepared me for the workday. I miss it. The Sunday paper was especially nice. The "funny papers" were my favorite.

[portwills]

I miss VHS cassettes and going to movie rentals.

[Nuggs]

Used to love getting the newspaper, especially on Sundays. Sunday funnies! Phone books would be delivered every year and had coupons for anything you were looking for and you would write numbers all over the cover of it. Good ol'days.

I miss film the most. I managed a camera store from 1992-2013 and saw the emergence of digital. I do love that younger generations are shooting film again. Kodak can’t keep up with the demand and people are paying steep prices for this medium. It makes me happy to see the art continue. There’s nothing like film.

Here's another one -- Remember the S&H Green Stamps we always got at the grocery store with our purchase? It was a kind of rebate program (like cash-back programs on some credit cards). You could save a whole bunch of Green Stamps over time and then take them back to the store to get a few free grocery items.

Of all the things that have been lost over the years, it's my mind I miss the most!

[Jimjolnir]

Finding forgotten coins in telephone booths was like winning the lottery. Back when coins had real value.

[freedomrings]

I remember going to NYC on a train when I was around 13 in 73 with my father to watch a baseball game. I remember going through what seemed like hundreds of phones in the train station to see if there was change that someone forgot to grab.

[Jerryman]

Those old phones were so durable. You could slam them down as hard as you wanted when hanging up on someone ☎️
