We got our bread, milk and ice for the ancient ice box delivered by guys in wagons pulled by horses. You could leave your milk bottles on the front porch with a list of what you wanted, along with cash for the items. It never got stolen. The milkman always took a break in front of our house, and put the feed-bag on the horse. Man, those were sure the innocent days, but what great memories!

What you describe sounds like a hundred years ago, but it actually wasn't really all that long ago at all! Within our lifetimes. How times have changed in just a few short decades.

It is not all gone, there are students who still ride their horses to school where my Wife teaches at in Montana.

I remember those wagons coming down the alley as well Harry. The junkman, the produce man, and of course the guy who sharpened knives and scissors also. But I remember them in the 50's, and don't forget the hot dog vendor who had a cart attached to a bicycle. We didn't have many baseball fields, so we played ball in the alleys or the streets.

Harry we had a junkman that lived 4 doors down when we live on Medill and he had a shop and large scrap area on a residential street. His name was Nick and I remember him banging and the sound of steel the whole time we lived there. I can't remember any of the produce wagons but you might have a few years on me but I do remember the Twin Oaks milk man delivering milk and picking up the empty glass jars. I know he stopped coming by.

Nick I remember those alley baseball and softball games. We also had a great lot where they tore down an old school. Those was fun days
