Older generations shared experiences that younger people might find surprising, such as having a milkman who let himself in, calling 'INFO' for quick queries, and home visits from doctors for medical care. Children had special daytime movie showings without adults, featuring thrilling films. House maintenance involved labor-intensive tasks like waxing linoleum floors, showcasing a contrast to modern conveniences. These memories evoke nostalgia and highlight the significant evolution of everyday life over time.
We had a milkman who delivered orders to our house in the '70s. He had a key and would let himself in, announcing his presence.
You used to be able to call 'INFO' and ask anything: the time, the date, geography questions, etc. It was awesome when your childhood kinda sucked.
Our doctor would come to our house to treat my brothers and me. He'd just show up with whatever he needed in his briefcase.
Movie theaters often had special matinees for kids on Saturdays. The theater would be full of kids and no adults.
