Things really were better then.
Parents dropped kids off and picked them up at a specified time and location without needing cell phones. As a kid, you had so much responsibility. If you had a few bucks in your pocket, you had to figure out a way to make it last.
Don’t even get me started on social skills.
The atmosphere also promoted more physical exertion.

Hell I remember being 6 and my mom leaving me at the arcade for a few hours while she shopped. Nowadays parents would go to jail for child endangerment for pulling something like that.

Damn right that probably would have had to last you at least 3-4 mall trips worth in the arcade.

Parents are still free to do this today.
We have people here that say shite like this then we have threads asking what monitoring service you have for your kid's phone.

Half of these kids are going to grow up with some kind of social anxiety disorder
