Hey GrayViners!

They say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone—and let’s be honest, some things from the good old days deserve a comeback!

So here's our question for today: What’s one thing from “the good old days” that you wish would make a comeback?

Maybe it’s when gas was pocket change, kids actually played outside, or TV had real theme songs? There are no right or wrong answers! Let's have a good conversation!

Personally, I’d love to see drive-in theaters make a full-blown comeback. There was nothing like watching a great movie under the stars, snack in hand, and not worrying about someone kicking your seat!

How about you? Whether it’s a favorite restaurant, a TV show, or just good manners (looking at you, turn signal users ), drop your answers below!

Cheers!
Blue

I wish common sense would come back.

Basic education in the schools. The modern subject are ok. But, most kids don’t know how to even write and sign their names.

Vinyl records and the technology to play them. I would also like to see cursive come back. How do people these days sign a contract without cursive?

Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

The Blue Laws! I loved when Sunday was family day, and the holidays were meant for time off with the family.
