The 1980s in one pic

There is just so much to love about that picture. Thanks for sharing.

I’m sure everyone says this from their childhood but the 80s had it all.

So carefree. The last true decade before technology took over

Paid phones would have been taped off during 2020 covid lol

I find this interesting.

I vividly remember calling my parents with a payphone from the theater or mall when I was younger.

however, I was born in 1990. My parents didnt have a cell phone for awhile.

i identify more with the 80s given all of my older siblings were raised in that time period.

Great times. The only rules from my parents were to be home when the street lights turned on.

They literally had no idea where I was for like 10-12 hours a day in the summer

EDIT: But there was no way on earth I dared not follow this one rule. HELL NO

Payphones started declining in big numbers in the early 00s, maybe 00-05. They used to be everywhere though.

pretty much. mom would whistle and we'd come running

Seems legit to me..

10-speed bike with those pedals that would rip your shin off should your foot slip. No bike helmet. Pay phone. What appears to be a Chrysler in the background - four door family car. The good ole days...

I recall every girl had a 10 speed, not because they gave a shite about riding bikes, but because it was a fashion symbol.
