Arcades, but more specifically, arcade games. Now in arcades, it’s just rigged claw games which only drops a plush if you put enough money in, sad to see really.

Iodine in Salt. Seriously, go to the grocery store and see how many brands of salt show “this salt does not provide Iodine, a necessary nutrient. “

Small restaurants and cafes. One of my favorite cafes was a victim of the pandemic. It was literally a one-woman operation with cozy seating (which of course wasn’t utilized during the pandemic) and had dozens of latte flavors that you could combine to make a bunch of different drinks. I still miss it.

Giraffes – they’ve become an endangered species.

Free parking. Even the smaller suburbs in their town center started charging for parking.

Christmas cards We used to get and send a ton and year by year it gets smaller

The amount of people actually getting married and having children is decreasing amongst millennials and the generations going forward.

Family Reunions. I was born in ’83 and I can remember going to one every year for both sides of my pop’s family and just one side of my mom’s. It’s definitely a dying tradition since now you can keep up with everyone online.

E-commerce has been going crazy and Covid I feel was the final nail in the coffin. I saw a shirt for 25$ in the mall in a store and saw it for $13.99 on Amazon it also took a day to have it shipped to me.

Drive-In theaters. I loved these as a kid. There’s still a few left, and a couple popped-up during covid here and there, but you have to hunt them down more and be willing to drive out a ways sometimes. There’s nothing like loading snacks, throwing some extra cushions and pillows in your vehicle, pulling up, and taking in 2-3 movies on the big screen under the stars. Also a good adventure for dates.

Cars with manual transmissions.
