I think most neighborhoods had them. Ours did too. They might have been a franchise. At the same time we still received our dairy products at our front porch door (this was still into the 60's), Had a fruit and vegetable man who would drive his truck down the neighborhood streets and sell you fresh fruits and vegetables from the back of the truck, had a guy who would come around a couple of times a year and take your picture on his pony and the Good Humor man in those white International trucks with the open top over the driver and the little bells. Zip Codes were not around yet and we were Chicago, 28, Illinois. Telephone numbers still used the abbreviated name in the prefix such as HI(lltop) 5, PR(escott) 6 or BE(verly) 8. Stamps were the 3c purple statue of Liberty. TV staions were not on 24/7/365 and at their designated time they would sign off the air and put up the famous Indian head test pattern. TV's were B&W and not solid state so it took up to a minute for the set to warm up and display the picture. And how many of us would sit and watch the little dot, after you shut the TV off, until it disappeared.
