I remember horse-drawn milk trucks in Detroit until the late '40's or early
50's. Hay and straw for the horses wasn't rationed during WWII---gasoline
WAS!! And it took a while for light truck production to be resumed after
the War was over.

Few of you if any can beat my father on this one.
My father grew up in New York city, first in the Bronx, then at the edge of
Harlem. When he was a kid in NYC milk and ICE were delivered by a guy with
a horse and cart. The streets were DIRT, and there were only a couple of
cars parked on each block... many had none.
He'll be 85 in January, and I think he's in better physical shape than I am
at 31! We spent all day yesterday walking around and riding roller
coasters
at Dorney Park, his idea NOT mine!
