Memories

Night games. The whole neighborhood would get involved with cops and robbers. It would span several blocks out and we went hard core. Parents would join in and do drive by’s with nerf guns. “Cops” would tackle the “robbers” to the ground and tie them up in “jail” sometimes that was on one of our decks although I do remember once being tied up to the street sign pole on the corner of our yard 😆

That sounds really cool, We played something similar, just the guys in the neighborhood tho. we would play war all throughout the street, in between the houses,bushes ect.. we had what we called pop guns and dirt clods for wepons and any other kind of guns we got for christmas that year. machine guns that shot sparks when you pull the triger, pistols that shot rolls of caps, we all had in our pockets, a water faucet key that fit every hose bib so we could get a drink of water at the corner of any house. all water faucets were the same then. we all drank hose water for sure.

Two hand touch Football in the street, curbs were out of bounds and the space between telephone poles were the goals . played till the street lights came on. People driving down the street would wait until we finished the play before they passed by. life was good

I miss the parties from the 80s where everyone danced and had a blast and actually enjoyed each other minus cellphones and other distracting technologies.
