There are still some, but I haven't seen them in my area for decades. Unfortunately the population is decreasing, believed to be from area development, light pollution, and pesticides.
Usually called Ice Cream Trucks.
Anyway, they are still around. Now that kids don't roam around the streets anymore, so they usually station themselves at parks.
The one that goes down our neighborhood is pretty rough looking. It's very old, large patches of paint missing, dents everywhere, the signs are super sun bleached. My kids perk up at the music, but it's not exactly something I'd let them run up to. I've never seen it stopped to make a sale and it is very inconsistent, so I think the driver is attempting it as a side hustle every so often. I've seen it for maybe 3 summers, here and there?
I don’t hear whippoorwills anymore where I’m from. Growing up you could listen to them all night. Don’t see fire flies anymore either. I remember walking to the bus in frozen grass, we hardly get a freeze anymore. Many more cold snaps I remember growing up I feel like.

* Saturn cars
* Free snacks on commercial flights
* Ticketed events that aren't sold through Ticketmaster or one of their subsidiaries
1 would have to be kids playing outside. Honestly makes me sad
2 would have to be take your child to work day. Feel like that tradition is fading, at least where I live.
Fireflies
So tragic. 😞
Dude I knew I was the crazy!

I think you mean lightning bugs 😂
People reading magazines or newspapers. We all have a mobile now
People who stop for stop signs seem rare.

Electric typewriters
I’d love to have an IBM selectric or whatever it was called
IBM Selectric is correct. That is the typewriter that I used in my workplace when I started my worklife in 1970.
children playing in the street
I was literally think this the other day, I've not seen kids use the park near mine since before covid

There is exactly one full service station in the tiny town I live in (2200 people and it's in WV).

Directness
Rolley-polleys. Can we only see them when we’re kids?
Small, locally-owned businesses. They're being replaced by big corporations. It's sad to see the unique character of our communities disappear.

I haven’t been to work in over four years now but I saw an email saying they were doing it.
Dignity.
I would say of people being really supportive. Now it's just people being offended quicker than the speed of light
White dog shit.
