5. In so. California, in the early 70s, we had the Helms Bakery truck that came around once a week. Kind of like the ice cream truck but with the best donuts & bakery goodies. It was a truck with drawers behind the rear doors. Super yummy!

6. Our local pd actually made signs to know where your kids are and what they are doing……it actually said at the bottom, nowadays pay attention instead of finding out when the streetlights come on

7. it didn't matter if you missed Cartoons. it would be reran eventually. We actually had to listen to the radio for school closings. we lived to far from the city to be listed on TV.. uphill both ways. that was the way it was and we liked it!

8. Prank phone calls, did. Saturday cartoons, for sure. Hanging with friends on our bikes, with cards in the spokes. Catching lightning bugs. My town a siren would go off at 7. And played in the snow. Shovel neighbors driveways for some cash.. great times.

9. I loved hopping on my spiffy new Spyder bike and pedaling to Sandy Beach in Juneau AK. in the 1970s. 😀

13. Switch hockey! For some reason I'm good at it!

14. My friend's and I made so many prank phone calls.
    One was to call random phone numbers from the white pages.
    Staying over at friend's houses and in those days (in the 1960') were called "Slumber parties" NOT called " Sleepovers" back then.
    When did slumber parties change to be called Sleepovers??
