What Things Would You Like To See Make A Comeback?

Watermelons with seeds, they are hard to find these days. Much more flavor than seedless.

Fruit stands and selling produce out of the back of trucks…watermelons, cantaloupe, sweet corn and other such produce.

Large fabric stores with a large variety of reasonably priced fabrics.

Small food stands own by locals who sell a few popular items done right. Fried chicken, burgers, snow cones etc. I think the cities have made it near impossible to operate these now.

@Atlotto I love the science project materials they sold at Radio Shack. Miss it for that and some of the electronics that were affordable that they offered. They got into promoting cell phones and forgot their original type of sales it seemed and then went out of business.

Video rental stores were fun back in the day. My favorite had a deal to get 4 on Friday night and not have to return them till Monday. They always had good movies.

There is one shoe cobbler here in my city. He has a business where he not only repairs shoes but also belts, leather purses etc. With so many wearing expensive leather boots it pays to have new heels put on and later resoled with another set of heels. He is a Philippino and does a good job of it, hard to find businesses like this these days.

Affordable small appliance repair shops.

Yes they were.

I did a shoe cobbler Google search and found out there are five within a 50 mile radius.
