Had no trouble with the old map; but rather the photo at the link of the partially unearthed wooden relic.
So you were still born when things were normal, and people had to actually think for themselves, and get off their butts to do something if they wanted it done, and not rely on devices to do it all for them.
As kids one of the things we did was build "forts" in the woods. As young teens we built tree houses. Not our fathers, us. A couple of them even had electricity running to them. Don't think it was up to code, but we could power a light and small radio. Plus they were high enough off the ground no adult would attempt to trespass. ;O)
How lucky that you lived where there were woods to play in. We lived in the city (Rochester, NY), so our forts were made from blankets thrown over the clothesline in our small back yard. Every one of our blankets had holes in each corner where we'd hammered through a clothespin to hold it into the ground. My mother never made a fuss over it.
We didn't have a car, so had to walk or take the bus to get where we needed to go. There was a playground behind our grammar school that we'd go to occasionally. My brother played hockey without skates in the street in the winter, and played a form of baseball in the street the rest of the year. We played hide and go seek in our neighbor's yards all up and down the street. There was an empty lot at the corner of our street, so we'd go there and run around playing cowboys and Indians. And we played board games and card games. We sat down to dinner together at 5 P.M. every night during the week, and at noon every Saturday and Sunday. It was definitely a better time to live in.
Thing is we did stuff outside. Aside from some Saturday morning cartoons or bad weather, summer or winter, there was nothing to keep us inside. No computer games or cable. Of course, we didn't know any better, and figuring out what to do could just be a matter of deciding if something might get us in trouble or not.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons, my mother would give us a quarter to go to the local theater. They changed the movies on Sundays. It cost us 15 cents to get in, and with the dime, we’d buy a box of popcorn. The theater we went to opened in the late 1800’s for vaudeville shows, so by the time we went in the 50’s, it was pretty beat. It was called the Lincoln Theater. We called it the “Stinkin’ Lincoln.” There was so much grunge on the carpet that your sneakers would stick to it.
Lol!
me too. :)
