I remember when only police doctors and shops had phones

Our town didn't have police, doctor or a shop. My grandma would milk the cows, gather eggs, bake bread, and make butter, while grandpa butchered a few chickens to put on ice. They would open their store (a small lean-to shack at the end of the driveway) in the middle of the day to sell to neighbors.

I remember the store when it was open.

BTW, our town's first phone was at the railway station. Later the station was turned into the phone office and the first home phones only required dialing 2 or 3 numbers unless it was long distance.

I remember when my town looked deserted at 6 pm every night and all day Sunday.
