Playing outside until the street lights came on. That was our cue that it was time to go in and even then we didn't want to. Kids don't play outside anymore like we did. yeah they do. i did when i was a kid and my neighborhood is full of them and my grandpa's ghetto neighborhood is too. people want to think that kids don't play outside anymore but they soooo do. They don't around here. I think there's too much video, xbox stuff that we didn't have. I had 3x 12 year olds (girls)....and 2x 14 year olds (boys) stay over last night.... they've been gone since the breakfast bowls hit the sink....they did a brief re-entrance to inhale some fruit an hour or so ago.....and are gone 'out there' somewhere again.. |

I remember the cartoon The Tick.
Playing Skip-It (that device was awesome as a kid). Playing with my Popple. Watching Bill Nye The Science Guy. Watching my friend go crazy over the Backstreet Boys. |

I remember walking to the park every saturday morning at like 6am KNOWING there was already a crowd there waiting to play baseball.
I remember when bazooka joe was cheap gum, but still gross.... wait, it still is I remember watching saturday morning cartoons where the only song you possibly heard was beginning theme, and the ending theme I remember back when you brought your good report card to the arcade, and got free tokens for doing good in school I remember thinking great shows like Hong Kong Phooey and such would never get replaced by a cartoon where the main character was a kitchen cleaning tool on some of the smack I remember a family barbeque was an all day event at the park... I remember the park being a place you didn't have to worry about getting mugged at I remember being able to be in a garage band and not having to worry about turning the volume down I remember video games, you never beat them, they just got faster, and changed colors I remember the ice cream man, $1 bought you an ice cream sammich I remember going trick or treating in the "nice" neighborhoods because you got the good candy |

Captain Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans. That program lasted a looong time. man, growing up in a poor neighborhood, their tv programming was from the good ol days, and I grew up watching captain kangaroo and mr green jeans, and all the other oldies but goodies. Me personally I was a cartoon fan though, and Hong Kong Phooey was my hero |
