I remember:

smudge pots - these were black round pots filled with kerosene and lite at night and placed on the side of the road to warn drivers of road construction

Street signals that started flashing yellow after 11:00 at night (or flashing red on cross streets)

Going to the picture show (we did not say movies)

Not being able to shop on Sunday because stores were closed

Writing a check for cash at the grocery store

Paying all bills on the same day, by driving around town to the phone company, elec company, gas company etc.

Going to get a hamburger was a special treat once a month

no air conditioning in schools

being spanked and grounded for a month for talking back to my mother. (I never did it again)
