I had the Hotwheels and Matchbox cars. Had a baseball glove and ball, since I played little league ball. I still have the .22 caliber rifle my dad bought me for my birthday when I was 8 years old!! That gun is 54 years old, now!!

Most of the same Patrick
No play dates arranged by my parents
Being out all day with my friends during the summer with no worries of abduction
Enough kids on the block to orginize our own football and baseball games without adults
Baseball cards with gum
Wiffle ball
Flexible Flyer sleds on Dead Mans Hill,I'm sure your neighborhood had one thats not do scary when you see it now.
Playing Rat Patrol on banana seat bikes
Massive war games in the neighborhood,everyone had an arsonal of toy guns,helmets,and equipment.
Acorn fights,the chestnuts really hurt.

I lived in Nashville when I was a kid, and walked everywhere, without fear of being grabbed, or run over!
