Me, I miss seeing stars at night. When I grew up, the night was filled with stars and constellations, with the Milky Way painting a ghostly white band across the sky. Now all I see is a bright haze from reflected city light.
Stars, yes, I miss seeing the stars, but what I'd really like to see, as I was telling Norton just last night while taking him out in the back yard to do his business, is a pre-Thomas Edison sky. That must have been awesome.

I miss the sense of family being all in one place.

I miss the ice cream man, who came down the street every day on his tricycle outfitted with an ice box in the front to keep the treats cold. He never smiled, and seemed to be the saddest person on the planet, but we kids looked forward to him and his bicycle bell every day.
