I suppose every generation goes through it, but it still seems strange to see so many changes in ones lifetime. Some clearly positive, some probably positive but don’t always seem like it or just seem disappointing even if it is better (I guess I’ll call them necessary evils), and then the ones that are clearly not an improvement (like the microwave popcorn that smells like industrial chemicals but that my wife seems to enjoy,,, YUCK!!!)
Well I hope its not replaced by yet another “hobby” business that is so overpriced or so specialized that no one can afford to shop there or don’t want to,,,

Just to put it into perspective and I am more than sure that others can relate. My great-grandmother saw: the dawn of aviation, television, two world wars, the use of a nuclear weapon, the building and destruction of the Berlin Wall, the rise and fall a more than one government, the ability of women and african american's right to vote and that is only the big stuff.
I will agree that it is difficult to see the things that you remember growing up around disappear. For the most part it is all for the better and very seldom is it a bad thing.
