We had a thing called a milkbox at the front door. You put your empty (glass) milk bottles in it and the milkman would come in his truck, take the empties and leave you fresh milk.

There was a neighborhood theatre that showed a weekly "kiddie mattinee" on the weekends- showed a double feature (quite often 2 horror movies), cartoons, old serials, newsreels, and gave away prizes! All for $1.25.

Radio stations played everything from Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee to Led Zepplin and Johnny Cash - on the same station.
