I used to work for Store24 and frequently worked in the Taunton, Lowell, Lawrence, Leominster, Fitchburg, Framingham and New Bedford locations. There's a reason most people don't remember Store24. It mainly stuck to Metropolitain areas near large populations of welfare recipients. That was their primary business model, catering to Food Stamps and W.I.C. monies at much higher prices than your local supermarket and it worked very well. Where these stores were located weren't exactly food deserts, however given the choice of going 1 mile to Store24 or 2 miles to the local supermarket, 100% opted to go to Store24 because in the end it didn't affect them in the least paying twice as much as the supermarket. They also always kept a well stock display of penny candy priced at cost, conveniently located right next to the checkout registers. It was a daily ritual of kids and adults converting Food Stamps to money by purchasing just one penny candy. Then using the money from the change to buy cigarettes and alcohol. In the end, customer got what they wanted and Store24 got the $$$$. Lol

Philly/SJ area used to have Cumberland Farms all over. They were mostly small stores - not too wide - deeper than wide - and some other business would be adjacent like one building divided into two businesses with one being CF. They mostly closed in the early to mid 90s. Until a little over a decade ago ((okay late 2000s for sure) there was just one left which had a gas station. It was a “big” Cumberland Farms and two other businesses were attached (one southwest / tex mex and one pizza). The one I stopped at in 1995 off of I-95 in … CT? … was nothing like the ones we had. And in recent years my aunt and uncle moved to CT (not near I-95) to be near two of their kids (my cousins). There are more modern Cumberlands there. Of course WaWa has changed a lot. That’s what is mostly around Philly / SNJ / DE. They have renovated or more succinctly rebuilt as a super WaWa with gas. Oh and 7-11 is around too. But WaWa outnumbers 7-11. The same aunt and uncle referred to above used to live near Philly (where my cousins were raised) but moved out to Reading PA area where Sheetz is a thing. And Sheetz is around Hershey PA (we like to go to the park and also the Christmas drive through light display). And Turkey Hill (of ice cream fame) has stores out there and some place called Rutters (thanks to RCR I knew to look for Rutters). That’s all that comes to mind for what I regularly (or semi regularly) encounter. The closed Cumberlands have become various things with a few being a seemingly similar shop called Cedar although I’ve never gone into one. The “big” Cumberland with gas is Circle K. CK is relatively new to the area (past decade?). I find it interesting to see what’s new to me as we drive up and down I-95 to visit that rodent with a castle 🏰 in the lakes and swamps of hurricane USA. You know what I mean. 😊

I still use my walkman with headphones but not too much with cassettes, mostly to play the radio when I walk outside. I retain my set of roadmaps in my vehicles, as a backup in case my cell phone fails and I lose GPS ability. I don't own a film camera as I agree that they are the one item that is truly outdated. It is much easier to point and shoot from my cell phone and then print those pictures I select online or at a physical print location such as Walmart. I think the only people who still use film cameras are those in Law enforcement where any pictures presented as evidence in court must be backed by a negative to prevent film fraud which is easier with digital pictures, but impossible with printed pictures from film negatives.

most recently - the PVR has come in and out quite quickly ('tivo', 'sky+' 'humax' hard disc TV recorders) In the mid 90s to early 2000s we had MiniDisc (MD) in our Sony hi-fi and a portable MD player/recorder each - so we could timeshift BBC radio plays or record talking books in 4LP mode. I've started using my MD player again! Also, I had a TV recorder DVD+RW from philips, so I could make DVDs 'off the telly'. I was able to use it as a PVR before I had a cable/satellite PVR. We have a Sony record deck attached to a soundbar in our conservatory and the vinyl collection is growing. I had my first typewriter in 1973 (12yo) for schoolwork. Same year as my first pocket calculator. I miss my little 110 flat camera - it had a built in flash too, so didn't need the little bulb/cubes. VHS & VHS-C were a 'triumph' of home technology. 20 years continuous use for me. S-VHS & HiFi stereo sound were also excellent.

Cool list .... Just one small point about our increasing reliance on portable technology. The first thing to fail in natural disasters is usually the Cell Towers, shutting down the mobile phone networks entirely. For example: During the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, when New Orleans was flooded the only working networks were the old POTS, landlline phones... Many of them had been underwater for days... and still worked. Also it would only take one sun-burst of solar radiation to entirely destroy all of our satellite reliant technologies, like GPS, SatPhones and broadasting. Yes the new stuff is better... but it does have a rather nasty Achilles Heel.

Well, we had hand-drawn cask beer & sandwiches in the pub, an afternoon/evening free of texting & early social media, talking ot the other campers and locals. for a short time, it's great. you make a good point about the effect of the solar winds.

I remember there was a small secretarial and typing school in our city when I was still a kid. It was near the machine shop where my father worked. There were at least 30 typewriters in that one room facing the street. Once I peeked inside and saw a quarter of those machines were very old. Maybe some of them were made in the 1930s - 1950s. The school lasted until the late 1980s. What a racket the student-secretaries would make, all of them young ladies punching those typewriter keys for hours.

I attended grammar school (Grades 1-8 , no middle schools) during the late 60's - mid 70's, and I have never heard of Filmstrip projectors. I had to look it up to see what you were talking about. Definitely, we didn't have those in our school. We had the 16mm reel-to-reel projectors (and slide projectors and overhead projectors) that would be rolled into the classroom on a cart. Teacher's treat to students was: After the film was over, the kids would beg,"Please PLEASE!! Can we watch it backwards???!". Since the film had to be rewound anyways, sometimes the teacher would leave the "bulb" on as it rewound and the class would breakout in hysterics watching people running backwards etc etc .. Didn't take much to amuse back then. Not so much the 80's (I graduated High School in 1980) but in the 70's in my school all we had were dumb terminals, keyboards and dot matrix impact printer (that green lined paper) to present the output display. No CRT displays returning input feedback. (This was as late as 1979 in my high school). If I recall the paper was 160 characters across , about 2-3 times as wide as today's 8x11" printer paper. Our assignments were to write code that would 'print out' a Snoopy character, or a Tic-Tac-Toe game etc etc and that would take 10-15 or more continuous pages of paper for output. At-least I missed the Punched Card phase of computers. My brother was 5 years older than me and I remember him bringing home stacks of those things. DON'T get them mixed out of order!!! I do not recall any 'myths' I was told as a kid that I wholeheartedly believed, besides the 'don't swim before 45 minutes after eating' , but I do recall always thinking a "Presidential Race" was literally the candidates lining up for a foot race, and winner took all. That, was just me being a dumb-kid. Finally, I always walked to/from school until high school (then I took the subway) starting in the FIRST grade. We lived maybe a mile away, but I would have to cross several intersections and one very busy main road. I actually asked my older sister (of 1 year) about 6 months ago, How did I used to get to school in the first grade (I couldn't remember back that far) and she told me she used to walk me to school, holding my hand. I've never taken a school bus for other than an occasional grammar school field trip or away soccer games in high school.

I had to laugh. As an individual who has battled with chronic obesity since childhood I have been on a number of these diets. I was first on Ayds.. the secret appetite suppressor was, wait for it,...sugar. I would eat a candy 30 minutes before a meal and it was "guaranteed" to make me loose weight if I followed the included 800-1000 calorie diet...no kidding. I was also on Metrocal for a couple of months. Imagine drinking cans of horribly artificially flavored condensed milk. I found the drinking man's diet in a little mini-book at the grocer's check out and bought it. I think the mini-book was around 35 cents, but it was loaded with a lot of information including a comprehensive list of carbograms. It was the precursor to all of the low carb diets from Atkins to Carnivore. I actually lost about 100 pounds on that diet, but I was still in grade school, so no drinking for me. I lost another 100 pounds on the same diet years later, but my body eventually figured out that I was dieting and low carb diets no longer work for me. And yes, I was on the grapefruit diet and many more bizarre diets. One had me eating only pineapple for two days with an "eat whatever you want" on day three (then repeat). That was the most horrible diet that I have ever been on. I am an extremely even tempered and calm individual, but the pineapple diet made me rageful. I couldn't stand always being angry and quickly got off of that one. Of course the 90's brought Seattle Sutton, Nutrisystem, WW, and others. Crazy. Now I try to avoid concentrated form of sugar, I exercise, try to eat less processed foods, and cook a lot from scratch. I'll never be tiny, but most would consider me chubby at this point instead of obese.
