I dunno...more people means more pervs, crazies, loonies, dysfunction, etc.
Oh boy, I miss:
Riding my Big Wheel (and being jealous that the other kids had Green Machines...lol).
Roller Skaking at Painters Mill Skateland
Swimming
Playing with friends outside until dark (summertime)
Cook outs at my Aunt Helen's house (although she still has one every so often, but it's not the same).
Trick or treating
The Good Humour man
and just being a kid again: no bills, no worries about work, health, and other dumb adult stuff...
