Not living in the US, I do miss pan pizza, or deep-dish Chicago style. I've been all over Italy, and it doesn't exist there, sadly.

It is only the mind that has lost itself, these treasures of our ancestors labor are still here, waiting to be remembered.
This is more an article than a picture, but fits well under the theme of "What we have lost"
The language sounds like the way people used to write several decades ago.

Interesting fact: this video was from the time before Sweden switched to driving on the right side of the road, in 1967.
Here is a picture of the first day of the switch (September 3)
Dagen H, the day Sweden switched sides of the road, 1967 - Rare Historical Photos
That day was called Dagen H, Dagen means “day,” and the “H” stands for “Högertrafik,” the Swedish word for “right-hand traffic”.

How do you switch when all the old cars already have the steering wheel on the wrong side? Did all the steering wheels have to be refitted by the switch date?
Watching old videos like the one you posted when you see how civilized the world was it always makes me feel like I was born at the wrong time. Women were so elegant and feminine back in the day, people were calm not stressed out and rushed like nowadays and people weren't walking around like zombies with earphones in their ears and their eyes glued to their smartphones. Food quality was much better than today and people had job security with good pensions, etc.
According to the article most Swedes back then had American-made cars with the steering wheel on the left side, so the cars didn't need modification when the switch occurred.
