Hell yeah. M-16s, grenades, I got a camo belt fed 30 Cal that made noise. None of that orange tip stuff in the early 80s.

Internet was around but people weren’t glued to it. In school we still went to books as references first. AIM messenger didn't come out till I was 10 and so by the time I was about to enter HS was popular. I grew up roaming the neighborhood without a cellphone at all and by the time I graduated hs smart phones were common. wild when you think about it

If I wasn’t at the Fair, I was playing Galaga or Centipede video games at Blimpie’s on So. Carrollton Ave. across from my school.
Would take the streetcar down to the Bend.

I was probably riding my bike around the neighborhood with my friends trying to get up a good game of smear the queer or lawn darts or something.

My sophomore and junior year of college. First presidential election I could vote in when I pulled the lever for Ronaldus Magnus.

Thinking back, I think my dad was a little disappointed if the can wasn’t just a touch light by the time he got it.

I was a Jr. in High School. Going to mall with fiends, and watching movies on weekends. Working part time at a toy store. Fun times.

I was in my final year of BMX racing - moved on to a Yamaha 125 enduro and never rode my BMX bike again. Mowed yards for cash. I snuck out of the house almost every night that summer, riding to another neighborhood to hang out with like-minded friends and just do stupid shite.

That wheelbarrow idea is genius! We had a section of fence that was the strike zone. It was unmarked so more than one argument arose over where the ball hit on the fence.

Same I was 8. Saturday mornings were either waking up to cartoons or going fishing in my dad’s boat. I was 6 or 7 when I got an atari. Then later got a calicovision and then Nintendo. That 84’ summer I spent many days at the world’s fair.

No shite..not to de-rail but we are talking the 80's and this was my pride and joy of the arsenal. Imagine a suburban kid running around the neighborhood today with one of these....
