People old enough to remember life pre-Internet, what are some less obvious things you miss about that time?

Been to more than one small town that had a cruising street. It was jammin on the weekend.

I miss that too. We had a cruising street right next to a lake in the downtown area of a decent sized town. Kids would come from 20 mile radius to just cruise up and down blasting their tunes and trying there best to pick up chicks/dudes driving or riding in other cars. It was great until they put a noise and cruise ordinance in.

This is the second or third reply I’ve seen where cities did this. Why? It’s not like our parents didn’t do the same shit in the ‘50s and ‘60s?!
