Newspapers delivered by paper girls,
Boys and Girls Scouts squeaky clean.
Kids playing on soft ball fields and
basketball courts outdoors during recess.
It was a different time then.
Kids playing sports in neighborhood parks.
Kids kicking cans or using sticks.

My girlfriend had the only paper route, 'small town', I had to settle for mowing and the hay field, a $1.00 an hour and I was damn happy to get it.

By the time I got into Jr. High, we had climbed the economic ladder from dirt-poor to middle class. Certainly not affluent, but we really didn't want for much. My parents let us be kids a while longer. It wasn't until after I started driving at 16 that I got my first job at the Union 76 station, and later retailer at Radio Shack.

Ahh, the pushing of the lawn mower $10 a week and walking behind the weed mower doing fence rows for a litter of pigs a year. Bought my first car with that stuff. $400. Next one was $2400 those were the days ! No worries ! Right !

Local rag has had their home delivery subscribers cut in half in the last 5 years. It probably won't be long before they're out of business.

my local paper i read for 60 years has been pushing on line readership.
their excuse for raising the price of the daily paper is not enough readers.
it has gone from 20 cents a day 5 years ago to $2.00 per day.
5 years ago average paper was 40 pages. now it is 5 pages.
