Dead Suburban Stuff

September 13, 2010 By lasthorseman 7 Comments

Local Drum and Bugle Corps organizations

Amateur radio operators

Ice Cream Trucks

Drive in movie theaters

A well rounded public education complete with extra-curricular activities

Full service gas stations with tire inflating air machines for free

The American dream of suburban homeownership

The 30 year marriage anniversary

Neighbors who mind their own business

Drivers who don’t give you the bird

Cashiers at stores

Calling a company and getting to talk to a real live person

Family traditions

Bank tellers being bank tellers and not Customer Service Representatives

Police with simple six shot revolvers

The town square and hardware store

The Joke shop

The town hospital

The several local farms

The tractor/farm impliment supply dealer

Riding bicycles without helmuts

Flattening nails and pennies on the train tracks

Church attendance-any religion

Santa Claus parades

Muscle cars

Custom vans

The CB radio

The Fuller Brush Man and Electrolux salesmen

ABC,CBS or NBC yup, only three to choose from

Dad’s being able to work for the same company all their lives

Mom’s being able to stay home

Home delivered milk

The doctor making a house call

Bazooka bubble gum

Penny candy

Baseball cards

Ah, yes those long forgotten times of old.  Yes I did do total lamestream media avoidance yesterday, nine years after 911 and I am still currently involved in the deconstruction of my former suburban life due to psychopathic control freaks.

Well look here.  Here it is in black and white.  No matter that I spent 28 years providing below market rents.

    With the exception of the 3 TV stations, all of those things are common where I live.  My own 30th anniversay is only weeks away.

      Horseman’s right about the disappearing single-income family, though. And cops with revolvers. I don’t think every town ever had its own hospital, unless it was a veterinarian, and those are still pretty common.

    Really?  I’m not sure what suburb you are living in, but the one I live in still has these things or they can be found within 15 minutes or 10 miles.

    p>This probably goes without saying, but I think you might want to come out of your basement more often and actually interact with the real world.

GOP governor hopeful Chris Doughty and running mate Kate Campanale are holding a presser to bash the “deceit” from Democratic candidate for governor AG Maura Healey on tax relief. #mapoli
