What is one thing that you miss as a kid or something that you liked growing up that's not around anymore?

that you wish was still around?

I miss going to this one beach when I was a little girl. Back then people used to be able to camp out, have cookouts(with a huge grill) and sleep overnight. All my family would go there every other weekend and do that. Now it's not allowed. They closed that part of the beach and you can only swim within the area but have to leave by 5. So sad....Those were the days.

    Going to the drive-in, once a month dad would take us to the drive in chicken place, get a big bucket of chicken, then on to the Drive-in movie. Sleeping on the way home from there, there was always a cartoon on before the movie, really miss those days.

    Wow, that's one thing I haven't thought of in so long.

    I guess it would be when I was little when my dad used to be around we would have a weekend cookout and later on he would tell stories before bed...I miss those days.

    I miss playing outside all day and not worrying about released sex offenders! Calling the neighbors Mr. and Mrs. and having to be accountable for manners. Being able earn .50c an hour for babysitting and having enough money to treat your brother to lunch. I really miss drive-in movies, running barefoot in the wet mud and giggling.

    Dad sitting on the stairs on our tiny patio as a child with his head right between Mum's knees while she cut his hair telling stories and making us laugh. Unfortunately Dad's not around anymore. Dad died a number of years ago.
