I vividly remember around 1987-88 while in high school going outside at break to check out my friend's new hunting rifle. There was about 15 of us in the parking lot with a rifle looking through the scope and pointing it. Good times.

I was very lucky to be a child of the 80's.

FIFY
The only thing that perhaps relates to the 80's other than the 70's is her hair.

I lived in Metairie for a few years in my youth. It was a treat to go to the Time Saver! I had forgotten about that store chain. Are they still around LA?
The original owners of Time Saver sold Time Saver in the late 70's, and they became a tax write off for large companies. I know Dillon/Kroger owned them for a time but they kept the Time Saver name. EZ Serve also bought them and rebranded the stores with their names. EZ Serve has been gone for a while now.
A few stores have popped up in the NOLA area using the Time Saver name and logo lately, but they are not affiliated at all with the original Time Saver chain.

I'm so happy I was a kid in the 70's and a HS/college kid in the 80's.

Pic reminds me of McD's 1986-87 at Veterans & Cleary in Metairie. Favorite hang out place when you were 14 y.o.

That McDonald's was built in the mid 70's, before that, the only one was in Kenner on Vets, which was an original with the signature arches and you had to eat outside. It was like a treat to go to the one on Cleary after your Dixie Youth baseball game because it was closer to the house.

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
Grew up in a single parent household and lived in some apartments. There was a dozen or so kids our age and we were all left alone all day during the summer. It was like Lord of the Flies without the killings. Kids these days are so soft it's pitiful.
Great pics. Thanks OP.

I always like the Matthew Broderick pay phone trick he did in War Games. I spent my entire youth trying to re-create that hack lol. Bellsouth started wising up to punk kids like me and rubber cemented the speaker to the handle portion.

They likely would NOT accept the call. Collect calls were $$$. Regular long distance was $$. But yes this was actually a thing to convey a message without paying for it. And I’m old enough to remember nickel pay phones and party lines.

It’s crazy that the people who were teenagers in the 80s are like 70 now

More like early 50's to early 60's...
If you were 19 in 1980, that makes you 62 today.. If you were 19 in 1989, that makes you 53. Depending on what month you were born.

This - Parents had no clue where kids were all day every weekend and summer day, and no way to get in touch with you. It was glorious freedom for a kid. Get on you bike and ride off.
