Believe it or not they still stand. I know a couple who just bought one for their starter home.

It was the first I had heard of it but that certainly does stick in one's memory.

A house from a catalog just a few generations away from anything from Amazon.

How things change while always remaining the same...

I remember when only a woman or a girly man smoked a filtered cig. My Father and Papaw smoked Chesterfield Kings, 21 great tobaccos give you 20 wonderful smokes.

Lots of Sears homes here in the midwest. They are actually becoming desired in some markets. In our area homes were not pre fab'd but essentially came on rail with all materials to build. Under the right builder they are pretty good houses with quality materials. Think most were 1910's to 1930's... When the coal mines were really rockin and rollin.


Love to look at the old catalog reprints. Pending on which ones and how far they go back you could buy opium, codeine, guns etc,

Have a .410 shotgun passed down that was a sears from 1920's. Good little gun to this day..

Actually walking to school (the horror). Elementary was only a few blocks away, but Jr. High was mile and a half, uphill both ways, knee deep in snow with my shoes slung over my shoulder so they stayed nice and dry.

But now, everybody is either driven in Mom's SUV, or the little darlin's all need to be bussed if they live more than 3 blocks away. Then we have sky rocketing childhood obesity, diabetes, etc. etc.

Hmmm. Why could that be?

I work construction, and one public school I worked at in the bay spent 3 million dollars making a new entry solely because they had too many parents picking up children, and needed a one way street for pick up only.

Same district, different school. Parents didn't like their kids having to walk to the bathrooms outside of the class rooms where they could be kidnapped....... This is in a neighborhood where if your house is in the low millions, you're on the poor side. So we cut holes for doorways in every classroom, so kids in the far class would have to walk through 6 classrooms to make it to the bathroom......These walls were load bearing, with concrete stem foundations...........

I remember when these actions were considered extravagant and not needed.

Back when they told you birth control pills in the nutrients would give you more females??

I remember waiting to see my friends with a lot of nines and zeros in their phone number rather than call them.

I don't miss rotary phones.

 

[rockymountainJ]

We didn't have Birth control in my day..... we just slipped it in the farter....

I saw a story recently that there's a new initiative started to get kids to walk to school to fight obesity. I always walked to school, often alone as young as 8 yrs old. Don't think they do that much anymore.
