Everything old is new again.
Stick around in life long enough and you know there is truth behind these words. In the song by that title, late Australian composer Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager remind:

From box socials to picnics and from a carriage ride with your sweetie to cuddling at a drive-in movie, a return to life’s simple pleasures, a break from the fast-paced environment we immerse ourselves in these days, is always greatly appreciated.

Vintage photographs capture all of those elements. You will see some terrific examples on these sites:
