I was 7.
The Olympics were in Atlanta - my Dad was on a bunch of committees so we got to go and see things and events I didn't fully appreciate until years later.
The Braves were in the middle of their heyday, the Hawks fielded a 60-win team with Mutumbo & Co. that still couldn't beat MJ's Bulls, Nickelodeon was on television, and Power Rangers plus "Legends of the Hidden Temple," ruled the day.
We drank Surge, played every sport under the Sun, and listened to some pretty iconic music - even if it was a lot of Pop.
It's funny you picked the year, "1996." For whatever reason, I always identified this as the nirvana of childhood - especially if you were a young boy in Atlanta. Everything and anything you could have ever cared about in the world came right to our front door.

It's funny, I was at Centennial Park the night the bomb went off and it barely registers in my memory. We were a long way from the actual bomb though, and really only remember the ensuing chaos. We didn't even know it was a bomb until we got back to our car and they weren't letting cars leave. Took forever to get back to where we were staying in Marietta.
