My parents seriously never locked the doors to our home when they were gone. Nobody in our hood was ever burglarized growing up. This blows my mind.
Drunk driving.
Picking what I wanted out of catalogs from department stores.
Cops that were just trying to help the community.
Disposable cameras. Film cameras in general because you had to be real picky about what you took a picture of.
Buy a big map before road trips/vacations.
Encyclopedias.
Neighborhood bars. (every adult member of my family had a neighborhood bar in which they were a regular of) - now people live in shitty neighborhoods where the idea of opening a bar would be heavily protested.

Taking off early morning with your friends on your bikes and not returning until dark.
While out riding finding all the returnable bottles you could find so you could get a non-returnable longneck Mt. Dew
Having a crap ton of those steel tonka trucks and john deere tractors and spending the whole day digging up holes in the yard playing.
The only way to get into contact with friends when cruising around town was to hit them up on the CB radio. Every guy had one in their truck.
LEaving the house at dark on saturday night to go sit on tailgates, fishing, and bs'n around the camp fire and meeting your parents at the door at 8 a.m. sunday morning and them not caring where you were.
Life without cell phones.

Book Fair: The day every kid was excited about just so they could get out of class. Never cared about he books but loved the generic Lamborghini posters and Guinness book of world records.

Getting paddled at school and Kevin Costner being a movie star.

Gonorrhea....just don't see that much of it these days.
Oh, and those big, fat prickly caterpillars. Or maybe that's just because I moved to another part of the country.
And finally, Bush. An entire generation has grown up without it

I never saw a painted fire hydrant.
Where did you grow up?
At Harry's Corner in the French Quarter, they made a table out of a fire hydrant.
That's the only decoration of a fire hydrant I've ever seen.

Likely cause you moved away. Thank goodness they don't have those out west. I've tried explaining stinging caterpillars to people out here and they look at me like I'm crazy(same look when I try to explain lovebugs and mosquito trucks)
Automatically knowing that any Russian character in a movie is the badguy and not to be trusted.
It's sorta been mentioned before...but playing all day in the neighborhood and only checking in at home for lunch and kool aid breaks...and then only coming home when the streetlights came on....and your parents not being the least bit concerned(unless it was way after streetlights came on).
Riding your bike all over the neighborhood, even to friends houses a few miles away on a regular basis.
Prank calling people when you were younger.

Going outside on Christmas morning to see kids playing with their new toys.

Where I grew up near Pittsburgh, all the hydrants (or fire plugs, as they're called up there) were painted like famous Pittsburgh athletes (Bradshaw, Swann, Willie Stargell, Franco Harris, etc.)

Riding bikes all day.
Bikes were interchangeable. You'd alway end up with somebody else's because their mom would come get them or something. By the end of the week yours was gone, you're on your 3rd one, and eventually you'd end up back on yours. Nobody cared.

We must be about the same age.

Jiffy Pop popcorn.
Drive in movies.
Able to buy beer at 10 years old.
Never locking the house.
Walking to school that was in the hood.
All the ducks you wanted to kill.
All the fish you wanted to catch and when you got home, you past all out to all the hood. You never froze them.
Bag of weed for a OZ was $10.
4 way hit of window paine was a dollar.
Long hair on guys way before mullets.
Dialing a phone call only using 5 numbers.

Getting chased by the old farmer on his tractor for playing on his hay bales.
