Riding in cars that only had an AM radio that popped some music if you were in range. Also cars that you cranked the handle to open and close the windows and could not be locked with the push of a button. Of course said cars could always be opened with a coat hanger and a little patience not like now adays when you need a locksmith. ;)

Sidebar: This reminds me of the Golden Girl's episode where the ladies are going on a cruise and stop by their pharmacy.

Of course one of the packages doesn't have a price sticker on it and the clerk at check-out asks for a price check rather loudly and descriptively on the inter-com!

The ability to change your own oil, check/fill tire pressure of even carry a guage. Being able to do one's own tune-up was basic as was the ability to change a flat with anything other than a donut.

Where I grew up, these were skills most anyone knew how to do. It's a car-crazed city for good reason. Drags, Formula One, Nascar, and lots of street racing to fill in the down time.

Millennials don't have to deal with the Abortion Underground vs back alley clinic. Where one woman knows a guy who might know of a legit clinic in New York where a woman can get an abortion, but money has to be raised for the info, trip, doctor, and a day's rest before the woman can travel back home to Indiana. All the time, hoping she doesn't hemorrhage en route.

Yes, Millennials, very few states offered abortion services back in the sixties and early seventies, and this IS how a woman got one...scary,eh?

When your mom would call you home for dinner with a shout out the window and the neighbors up and down the street would shout your name to get you home. Growing up in Chicago in the boomer years was a blast.

Full service gas stations where a man, most likely, ran out and pumped your gas, checked your oil, cleaned the windshield and would happily check the air supply in your tires if you request it...

The great Womyn's Music artists like Alix Dobkin, Msg Christian, Teresa Trull, Alive, Cris Williamson all in concert at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival before the bitter trans wars, but during the Separatists vs the Leatherdykes.


Working at the Fest during the tension. Rules like if they caught a woman at a play party, you could be banned from working.

Also, women not permitted to work their shift if they had on a black bandana or handcuffs hanging from their belt loop.

If you had to take a sick or injured women to the Womb (healthcare tent), you had to check yourself to make certain you weren't wearing any "forbidden" items.

Granted, you had to leave the comfort of the house and brave weather elements, either driving or walking there......BUT

Oh what fun it was walking around and talking to other movie buffs at the local video store. If you went in and had no clue what you really wanted to rent, there would be a ton of suggestions from not only the staff but from other patrons as well...:popcorn:

Many of the foods I used to enjoy before some knowledgeable expert somebody informed/warned/convinced me they are bad for us. I mean healthier Cracker Jacks what's the point? Especially when you consider the nothing more than tiny, printed squares of paper they give out now as prizes.

Neighbors, in a suburban house near a large MW city, with windows open, laundry on the line, it starts to rain. Run into house, grab the laundry basket, close all the windows, and gather up the wash take inside of the unlocked door.

Someone just posted a photo of a negative on a FB group I'm in. No one under 30 had a clue.
