Shoot - saturday morning was cartoons at the movie house - till the afternoon - all for 6 pepsi bottles (empties) - no such thing as cartoons on TV then - and FM radio was just starting to get off the ground when I was a teen - didnt even have a TV till I was 16 - I bought it with my savings from working since I was 12.
Of course the best part was the great candy you could get at the store - yeah you could even walk there with your friends when you were 10 - and then Saturday afternoons hop on our bicycles and head to downtown Wash DC to hang out around the Smithsonian and get lost in the halls - and we lived up in Chevy Chase so it was a good 15 mile ride on DC streets - and park our bikes outside and loe and behold they'd still be there we we came out 7 hours later with no lock.
I think we are all "at fault" for not bringing up our kids better and making sure their kids weren't put into this mess - but then I guess Dr Spock had the effect he wanted
