The milk thing brings back great memories.... milk in glass bottles, eggs, butter, cream, and other things (a fresh turkey!) from Turner Dairy in Pittsburgh. The milk box on the front stoop--from my childhood in 1950 through my children's childhood, ending in the '80s when we moved to NJ. (Stoop... is that only a Pittsburgh term? I've never heard it in MI or NJ). And a monthly bill. We don't drink much milk now, so probably we wouldn't use it, but wow. Thanks for the memories.
Turner Dairy is still there by the way.

In the Bronx NY we used to sit on the STOOPS of the apartment buildings. Also played STOOP BALL throwing a SPALDEEN. ( Pink ball made by Spaulding) against the point if the Stoop steps.
