“Taking photos using those little rolls of film and having to take them into a shop for processing.
You often wouldn’t know if any of the photos were good until a couple of months later.
You also had to manually wind on the camera after every shot.”

“Drive-in restaurants with car hops.
A line of parking places under a canopy.
Each had a speaker.
They brought the food on a tray that attached to the drivers open window.
Dad ate off the tray.
Mom opened the glove box and used the door for a tray.
It had little indentations for cups.
The kids just ate off their laps.
