Remember When?

Retail stores would close on Good Friday from noon to 3?

 

yup

 

We asked to be excused when finished eating? And carried our plates to the kitchen sink...from the table where we ate?

 

This must be one of those memories that qualifies you as an old fart?

 

Half day of school

 

most retail shops were closed on Sundays, a lot would only be until noon on Saturday. weekday hours mostly 9-5 may or may not be open from 12-1 for lunch. that was the 50's during the 60's it all changed ( for better or worse)

 

In the small town I grew up in, the only business that was open on Sundays was the restaurant.

 

I definitely agree. We did all that except there were no street lights out here in the sticks.

 

I remember our pastor's sermon when the largest grocery chain in our area announced Sunday hours. Basically he said only go if you absolutely need to, don't plan regular weekly shopping on Sunday

 

I guess.

 

Liquor (ABC) stores in NC are still closed on Sunday and no beer sales until 12.

 

When I was a kid one of the worse things that could happen was you blew a tire on your bike Saturday late afternoon. Then you had to wait until monday after your parents got home from work to get one.
No wheels for 2 days!

 

When most retailers in small towns were closed on Wednesday? Yes, I’m a card carrying Old Fart

 

We had tire repair kits for that.

 

Yeah, It sure was. The ‘good ol days’

 

I remember when men were men & women were women….

 

Were the sheep scared?
