I remember walking around the block on Florence street between Union and Poplar avenues with my cousin when we were just 6-8 years old all by ourselves. No way would I let my kids do that now.....................
It’s them again Boo Boo.
I know what you mean. My relatives lived in boston- and even back in the 60’s it was dangerous to walk around, but not nearly as dangerous as today. We used to go visit them once in awhile, and we could play outside, but couldn’t leave the yard-
I went to Dorchester once and stayed with a friend’s family for a week. One morning I went for a walk, got back to the apartment, and the parents of the friend freaked out and told me never to do,that again- I was naive at the time about city life.
