What did you see commonly when you were a kid, that you rarely see now?
 
People wearing cross necklaces. Now I see only women with long owl necklaces for example.
 
Kids not using their damn phones every 2 seconds. Little kids the age of 5 now think they 'have' to have a phone......
 
Kids playing outside.

Kids who respected their elders and had manners.

Ice cream trucks. They may still be around but I haven't seen one.

I remember those too! Sadly didn't have the chance to buy an ice-cream from them until five years ago.
 
We would be out for hours playing in the summer sun and somehow did not dry up into dust because we did not have a bottle of water

This, partly because it's a crime if parents let their kids play outside by themselves (sad). I rarely see pay phones! Had a lot more hanging around when I was younger.

They're always around here. Even in the winter.

I bought an ice cream from an ice cream truck yesterday. :P
