The landscape of America is constantly changing. As culture shifts and new technologies and products are introduced, this is to be expected. But some things are impacted more than others and the once-ubiquitous can even become extinct. WalletPop takes a look at 25 such things that are quickly disappearing from our country. 25.

At around 7:00 in the morning we used to see the school bus lumber down the street. It stopped at the corner and picked up a group of kids. With the grinding of gears and a belch of black smoke it turned the corner and headed for the next group of kids.

DETROIT — Ford Motor and Chrysler expected to find themselves in a hard-fought showdown when they rolled out bigger, brasher pickup trucks this fall, hoping to enlarge their shares of a segment that has brought them huge profits.
Instead, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors have discovered $4-a-gallon gasoline and a housing slump to be more formidable foes. This year’s battle will be for pieces

The Phantom of the Opera revolves around Christine, a young singer. She is allured by a mysterious ghost who haunts the opera house of Paris. The story begins with strange accidents taking place in the opera house. When the snobbish diva named Carlotta puts her feet down to continue the opera, Christine substitutes her and becomes a star. At the opening night, Christine comes across her childhood
The distribution of income in the United States is becoming more unequal! Labor still captures about two-thirds of national income, but only skilled workers have benefited.

The Forests and Environment Minister of India has recently revealed in the upper house of Indian Parliament that during the year 2003-05 the country has lost a total of 728 square kilometers as per the estimation of Forests Survey of India.In respect to Orissa, the ministry separately said that at present it has only a meager 288 square kilometer of dense forests against a geographical area of 155707 square kilometers. Even as the Government insists the forests-land ratio to be 31 percent, the environmentalists have vehemently disputed the figure terming this as inflated. They have estimated it to be a dismal 10 percent or less. It may be mentioned that while at the time of country’s Independence, the state forests covered 48 percent of its landmass--since than, it has been regressing to

For long long time I have not got as good kicks from power or progressive metal music as I got when I discovered Australian band Vanishing Point. This great power metal group, Vanishing Point, comes from Melbourne, Australia. They have released four albums from which the latest one on this year. Vanishing Point was a good finding for me and I will order all four albums for sure.
I am not going to tell the whole history of Vanishing Point because it is already available in Wikipedia. Instead I would like to mention few interesting things about the band. The band has been founded back in 1990’s by vocalist Silvio Massaro, keyboards player Pep Sammartino, guitarists Chris Porcianko and Tom Vucur, drummer Jack Lukic and bassist Joel Del Mastro. The first album was released in 1996, but around 2000 they started to gain some real attention after supporting Yngwie Malmsteen, Nevermore, Sonata Arctica, Gamma Ray and Edguy. The band has played in big stages, such as Wacken Open Air festi
This weekend was one of firsts and of letting go. As I posted yesterday, Adam was cleanly shorn for the first time like a sheep in the spring; the golden locks of his cranial fleece sealed in an envelope. Looping gossamer strands of a script narrating a bittersweet tale of separation and transformation for us the read in years to come. Even today though, two days after the haircut Kathleen and I are still looking at him like, “Who are you and what did you do with our baby?” He so far has denied any wrongdoing, but we’re still going to continue the investigation for a couple more days. Perhaps even call in David Caruso to deliver some patented, stilted, uninspired dialogue while he slowly removes his sunglasses.
Yesterday though marked the long overdue dénouement of Jack’s infancy in my mind thus beginning his inevitable march towards adolescence. For weeks I’ve been promising him that I’d take the training wheels off his bike and teach him how to ride a two-wheeler. He was

Many, many people come into the library with a variety of questions which, some of the time, have nothing to do with the library. This morning, a family visiting for the weekend came in to ask when the student bookstore is open. Apparently, there is no sign on the door. I told them I could find out for them.
The Lynn website made me into a liar. I knew I had found the hours on the website before, but it took some diligent searching. It is so hidden that searching “bookstore” will not help you find it. Even now, two minutes after I found it, I can’t remember how I did it (unfortunately, I didn’t find it in time for the family; they left because it was taking me so long). It vanishes into obscurity very quickly!
Okay, I found it again: You have to go to “offices and services,” then there will be a link to the bookstore. I was terribly confused when I saw that there were no hours for the store on the bookstore page. However, I found on the left hand si
By: Al Terry The year 1972 was extraordinary. Not because of some space research or medical discovery, but due to the creation of one of the greatest shows at Broadway titled “Grease”. Two talented people, Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, wrote a love story and composed some fine tunes, and combined them both. The result was a smashing play depicting high school love with a rock’n’roll party that the audience just couldn’t forget. Today, in the year 2007, “Grease” still continues to entertain the audience. It has the same magic as it had three decades ago. No one could have predicted that the five-hour show, which was opened in Chicago in 1972, could break all records and continue to be shown for decades! However, when “Grease” was shown outside Chicago, it was reduced to two hours. The noteworthy thing about “Grease” is that it started with amateur actors and a simple garage background. Later, when the movie “Grease” was made, it starred the much adored John Trav

Most people may not realize it, but real chocolate is vanishing from the shelves of stores; at least real by my definition. I'm talking about chocolate made with all natural ingredients. It's ironic that while there is a surge in organic products on the market today- the popular brands found at regular stores are ever moving away from wholesome ingredients.Although there is a host of ingredients to complain about, today's complaint is about vanillin. It is slowly, and covertly seizing the dynasty which has belonged to the ingredient vanilla for ages. It is deceptively named after its target so that you will not give it another glance. Let me be frank. These two things are not the same. One is an extract of the vanilla bean, the other is made from the waste of paper products. Yuck.I really do believe that the chemical altering of our food can explain many of the maladies of today. But it is difficult to convince everyone of that when the FDA approves such things.There are an elite f

Vanishing Foreign Reporting? Don't Underestimate the WebExcerpt:"From Time magazine's declaration that "you" were the person of the year in 2006, to Frontline's recent airing of "News War," a four-part series examining the changing news landscape, the Internet's paradigm-shifting effect on the media has begun to dawn on many journalists and media executives alike.Strangely, however, a recent spate of opinion pieces about the grim state of foreign news reporting has ignored the promise of the Internet."http://worldpoliticswatch.com/article.aspx?id=685Alex
As you might expect, when my family moved to the small Midwest town that was to become our home, we created a certain amount of interest from our new neighbors. Give that we were moving in to a small community, that most of our things had arrived almost a week before we did (thus giving our neighbors plenty of time to speculate on who we were), and particularly given that my Mother was a white woman with two Asian children in tow, we created quite a bit o interest For the most part, out new neighbors just wanted to know the normal things. Such as who we were, where we had come from, and what we were like. What created the real stir, though, and caused some less conventional questions to come to mind, was that, even after my Mother had settled us in to our new home, no husband arrived to support her. In Kyoto In Kyoto, pretty much everybody that I had know had known that I didn't have a father at home. They knew by the way that I never mentioned my father, and by the way th

Bloomington, Indiana - The function of horned beetles' wild protrusions has been a matter of some consternation for biologists. Digging seemed plausible; combat and mate selection, more likely. Even Charles Darwin* once weighed in on the matter, suggesting - one imagines with some frustration - the horns were merely ornamental.In this month's American Naturalist (December 2006) and the November 2006 issue of Evolution, Indiana University Bloomington scientists present an entirely new function for the horns: during their development, Onthophagus horned beetles use their young horns as a sort of can opener, helping them bust out of thick larval shells.The finding will surprise anyone who assumed hornless Onthophagus adults (usually the females) never form the horns in the first place. They do, the scientists say, but the nubile horn tissue is reabsorbed before the beetles' emergence as adults.'The formation of horns by beetle pupas that soon lose them just doesn't seem to make sense
