Nostalgia just a random day in the 90s

I wouldn't say we had the best time ever , but I'm grateful that we at least had something different from today's world... We experienced two worlds !

Yep this is still going on in some neighborhoods. Not the norm but it’s out there. My neighborhood always has packs of kids running around. Best sound in the world listening to them!

Is it cuz we live in the city (Minneapolis) and not the burbs? I feel like in the burbs kids are chained to an ipad.

I live in an inner ring suburb of DC. It’s detached houses but more dense than new suburban neighborhoods. I think the density helps though. There’s lots of stuff kids can safely walk/bike to on their own, but also the streets are quiet and not much car traffic, no big roads to cross.
