    Sunday Blue Laws...nothing open but restaurants and pharmacies and if you didn't buy your alcohol on Saturday, yur outta luck!

    Fast food was grabbing a donut at the all-night diner...no McDonalds, no 7-Elevens.

    Cigarettes in vending machines.

    Movie theatres had one screen and really, REALLY sticky floors. :D

    ^ I remember the blue laws. It was a very different world back then. I miss some parts of that world....

    Cool, I haven't seen one of them in ages. I don't think the Navy even wears them any more.

    They are still around in some places in the South, but not like they once were.

    If you are unaware of what a Pea Coat is, perhaps you are not as old as you look. :lol:
