I watched "To Kill a Mockingbird" with my kids a few weeks ago, and I told them how much my childhood was like that. Going anywhere in town that I wanted, as long as it was within walking distance and I was home for meals. So much freedom, and so much fun.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" took place in the 30's, and I was a child in the 60's - but the southern childhood of long summer days and bare feet was the same.
I don't know when it disappeared, but my kids surely didn't have the same kind of freedom.
