Thumbs up Great memories

"Saturday matinees at our neighborhood theater:
Admission: 25 cents for a double feature including cartoons"

As a bonus we'd get a dinner plate!

Wearing hats or veils and white gloves to church
My first car was a Chrysler, had a push button transmission and no seat belts
Driving to FL via Rt. 1, no 91 or 95 in those days
Wringer wash machines and clothes lines
Having your entire family living in the within 10 miles of each other
A neighborhood truck peddling fresh fruits and vegetables every Sat. morning
Our first airconditioner consisted of a metal box with a fan inserted in the window with a block of ice in it : /
Switchboard operators
Typing and steno pools
