I remembered them all. I'm older than dirt.

I remember when there were only ice boxes and the delivery man used to cut the ice and then slig in onto his back and carry it into the building?

I remember a man delivering coal and the building had an opening in the front,(shute), and shoveled the coal onto the shute that went to the floor near the furnace?

I remember penny candy and when devil dogs were 5 cents and were bigger.

Our neighborhood had a guy, (Freddie), who sold hot dogs and had a cart with a horse. Hot dogs were 10 cents and three for a quarter.

I remember a conversation several years ago with a younger person that when I said, I remember when there was no air-conditioning and refrigerators. their reponse was an incredulous, "You mean there was no air-conditiing and refrigerators". How did you live?
