Shades of Buster Anderson. He had a trailer hitch on his Supra that was a similar color to tow his Master Craft or Ski Nautique. He was a crazy mother fricker, circa Early 80's.
Buster was a fun guy to be a peripheral friend of, but you didn't want to get sucked into his vortex because there was PLENTY of stupidity involved. If he's not dead by now, I'd be shocked.

quote:yep. We even did this is mid city NOLA - my siblings and I rode our bikes all over city park, go to the museum every Thursday when it was free - we’d have friends that lived close come join us, put in to buy a bucket of popcorn at the casino and feed the ducks
Left the house as a kid on a bike or a teenager
Then sometimes, when we were a little older and my teenaged older sister was too old for us - my brother and I would get on the bus go to the quarter for cafe du monde, and then walk to city hall to meet our parents after work.
Could you imagine that nowadays

People would call Child Protective Services these days on many things that were fairly normal to us growing up.
My dad used to get me to run to the store in his Monte Carlo to get him some beer and Copenhagen when I was like 12

Offering my tribute a bit late in the game here.
It's been a great thread so far. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

I think that’s why Dad put the basket on my bike

That came in handy in high school. "It's for my dad" still worked at the convenience store by our house because everyone there knew us.

What the hell happened to these things too? Never see them anymore. Nobody owned a helmet either.

For those that live in Houston - we frequent Speedy's Fast Track. Just a fun place - lot's of old arcade games as well.

The best thing about the 80s was that we still had a shared culture. Channels 4, 6, 8 and 12... maybe a couple of UHF channels if you were lucky. If the best thing on was this new Rosanne show, most people watched it and that's what we talked about at lunch. If the best thing on was some crap about Frieda Kahlo on WYES, you dealt with it talked about that. Same with video games, music, and most other things. The lack of choices was liberating and unifying.

Record Stores
There was an entire social scene around mall record stores. Great places to meet girls at the time.

We have a few cart tracks around here too but I'm talking about kids just zipping through the neighborhood on them. I can't remember the last time I saw that.

Girbaud jeans with the tight roll , Z Cavaricci , McDonalds could host a birthday party and the employees were normal working class people

HOAs tend to frown upon that in my area but where I graduated HS they allow UTVs and 4-wheelers on streets.
