This was very cool. I'd like to add to this some things I remember.

Johnny on the pony
Hide and go seek
Old wooden seesaws
Monkey bars made of metal
Girls wearing white gloves when they went to church
Listening to radio programs before we had a TV
Collecting glass coke bottles to get the refund deposit
Metal roller skates with the toe clamps and leather straps
The roller skate key to tighten the toe clamps on the shoe
Playing hand ball on the side of a building
The ice truck delivering blocks of ice
The coal truck delivering coal for the furnaces
Men tipping their hats as a greeting
Seams on ladies' stockings
Moms wearing aprons
Covering our school books with the brown paper from the
grocery sacks
Milk delivered to the home in glass bottles

Anyone else have more to add? I just love this thread.
