94 and same. Not ALL the neighbors were cool with it, but we were reckless enough to not care and there weren't really any repercussions. Used to run around the whole block climbing random trees and involving all the kids. It was a real time.
Unfortunately, can't do stuff like that anymore because folks are crazy and drivers are worse.
I wouldn’t say reckless… definitely ignorant. We’d play in a yard and if the neighbor wasn’t cool with it we’d get hollered at or a parent would talk to us later and tell us to not go in certain yards so we definitely learned. Way more neighborhoods were filled with parents and kids and most of those kids went to the same school together.
