 Mail boxes at my doorstep.  You never had to walk 2 blocks to get your mail.

When athletes didn’t use Performance Enhancing Drugs. (Steroids) Record books didn’t have asterisks next to the player due to congressional allegations.

7

Cars that looked like the company brand. (When a Buick looked like a Buick) Now every car looks like the bastard child of a Prius.

6

Safe Neighborhoods that weren’t gated. You could leave your doors unlocked and your kids knew that the street lights were their curfew.

Drive in Diners (Not junk fast food holes)  A&W Root beer Drive ins were fine.  At least the meat was cooked in the same zip code.  They had Jukeboxes and pinball machines.

4

Movies like Casablanca that didn’t require special effects and gratuitous sex.  Actors actually had to study acting. 

3

 Schools that educated the student; not public hangouts that passed even the dumbest of Obamas for the federal dollars.

2 

Ronald Reagan and the Pledge of Allegiance.
