Rules on drinking were WAYYYY more lax back then. I remember me and my buddies going to Sicily's Pizza, and ordering giant pepperoni's and endless pitchers of beer. No issues whatsoever.
And we were 15 years old.
But driving age was 15 then. Never checked ID's. Easiest way to drink without ID was pizza joints that served pitchers of beer.

I looked 12 when I was 18 so my friends wouldn't even include me when I was legal 
My senior year I worked at the mall and still remember some lady chewing my arse for driving when I wasn't old enough. I was 17 not 15

Was it just me, or was draft beer from a pitcher the best?

Monticello Christmas lights were the GOAT.
Christmas time was glorious for us neighborhood kids. Traffic to get to Cardigan Ave (every house on the street looked like Christmas Vacation) was backed up all the way down Greenwell Springs Rd. The main blvd was packed with people walking around. Everybody was happy and having a good time.
Can you imagine what that would be like if a BR neighborhood attempted something like that today.

Yeah that neighborhood was awesome around Christmas time. Hardly a house decorated now.

It was a better time. A student could go up to the Union and buy a Dixie beer on Wednesday afternoon and watch the weekly spectacle of Free Speech Alley. No big deal. Local or frequently visiting bands were fun. The Times, ShitDogs, A-Train, The Sheiks, Isosceles Popsicle and later The Cold were all around town watering holes and in the Union.

Monticello is basically an extension of North Sherwood nowadays.

Not like today. Not even remotely.
