Where are all the kids playing football in vacant lots?

I live very close to a small inner-city community in NJ. I'm always astonished at the poor, black kids who still gather in dusty, empty lots to play ball and other games without any parental or adult supervision. It's like the 1950s come back to life.

Our company was in the inner city in the '70's. Kids in the neighborhood were out playing like that, during the week, during the school year...
