It was at least the early 90s before the first ATM showed up in the large central PA town I grew up in. I still remember waiting for the mail on Thursday for my dad's paycheck. My mom would sign his name and we'd go to the bank, same teller every week, and get $100 in cash and the rest into the checking account.

- adestefan 16y agoIt was Altoona, PA and in 1990 the population was somewhere in the 50,000 range. I'm not saying there were no ATMs just that I remember when they put the first one in at our bank. It was a big deal that they were giving out ATM cards.
