Re: Nostalgia What is missing

Reel mowers
Flatheads (the motors, not the fish)
The phrase "Sure, you can fish in my pond, I don't mind"
That little bell that rang when you went in the store.
Those two old guys playing checkers on stacked milk crates in that store.
Wooden soda bottle crates.
Depression glass in your flour.
The smell of mothballs, mmmmmmmmmm.
A 13 year old walking down the road with a shotgun didn't warrant a second glance.
Real metal bumpers.
Seeing how high the John Deere 50 would blow the coffee can into the air.
Cast iron stoves.
Running from the wasps that were in the coffee can.
