My grandparents and parents.
Flocks of birds.
When I was a kid, the trees were filled with birds, and it was normal to see 100s of birds in a flock.
It's taken a long time, but I think we're starting to see the bird population recover from the DDT disaster.

Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of Cap'n Crunch
Meeting the boys at the local park to play a pick up game of baseball
Catching fireflies
Playing tag until you heard your mom calling you to come home
Riding bikes forever
Charles Chips delivered to your front door
Full serve gas stations
Flea markets
Walking to school (and going home for lunch)
Covering your textbooks with grocery bags
Calling a radio station to request a song
Trying to stay up until 1:00AM to see if Mr. Bill was going to be on Saturday Night Live
Hockey/baseball in the street (CAR!!!)

I agree with almost all of your list. There's still many flea markets to be found though, including Brimfield, which is a huge one..

I got gas at a full serve station in Concord NH today. I got out of the car, couldn't work the pump, was baffled until the guy hustled out. He didn't check my oil or anything like I remember, though...

Yup. They,d check your oil. They give you air (free) for your tires. They'd wash your windshield.. Plus the previously mentioned free maps.
But you couldn't buy Chips, nuts, soda and beer. Give me back those good old days and keep your chips.
Cheers
Well, if I had known you were here I would have stopped by and this nut comes free of charge.
