I drove through my nearest town tonight and surprised to see only one establishment open, and no one was there. I don't get out a lot anymore but the July 3rd of 25 years ago started running through my head. I was 18 yrs old with a full time job. The neighboring town used to block off their Main Street and have a band come play for the night. My town had a few places open. One of the restraunts used to stay open late the night of the 3rd. Many walks of life all got together to visit. I remember staying out until about 4am that night. I still lived with my parents, so they were not impressed. The band quit at 1 the restraunt closed at 2. I visited with a group of people outside for another hour+.
It was this way until I got married and had kids. From 1999 and on I had a wife and small kids consuming all my energy. So I really can't say when the last Main Street dance was or when all the businesses gave up on being open.
Now one small establishment by the lake north of town shoots off some fireworks from 10-11pm and everyone goes home.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
