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.

Water-filled, corner store soda pop coolers. Lift one of the hinged tops, get your choice of cold soda pop, uncap your drink with the built-in decapper thing then pay at the counter.

@rinkydinkydoink Free air at gas stations for sure. People are bad about not putting the hose bad on the holder and then someone drives over it and gets it torn up. So they started charging due to having to replace the hoses. I don’t like dogs chasing cars, they can get hit by a back tire and killed.
@cherokeepatti

About the dog/chase/car thought - you're right, of course. It's just a pleasant memory for me when dogs were free to be dogs.

It also makes sense about the air hoses. I was going more for the nostalgia of kids and bikes and their not having to pay.

@rinkydinkydoink We had two collie dogs that got killed on the road chasing vehicles. It’s something to do with their herding instinct.
