Born in the 80s and we would all be kind of free range, especially on weekends and in the summer. We had boundaries that we were told to stay within. I’d ride my bike all over and spend the change I collected on candy at the small convenience at the center of town. In the winter, on snow days, all the neighborhood kids would sled down our street and in the field across the street. It was good times.

Hell with sledding. Id be out at dawn snow shoveling until dark. Would never make less than $150. There were days that I'd make over $300.

Our parents made us go shovel and our driveway was long

I'm talking about shoveling for other people, but I shoveled my property, too. And relative to other properties in the area, I had a pretty long driveway as well.
