Oh crap yea... Kick the can on Summit Ave in summer. Street hockey in the snow in sneakers with tennis balls. Had a racing slick on that day glow burnt yellow banana seat bike. Picking up pig iron from tracks and the rope swing behing Nichols school in the ditch behind on the rope swing.

 

Salambas pool tables when I was 15.

Speaking of rope swings, the rope swing that hung from the flagpole next to the big rock and Civil War cannons in Delaware Park. You could get a nice start off that rock!

I remember most of this stuff and I'm only 31. Y'all are a bunch of fake old people.

 

  

 

Yep, same here. I was around for like 85% of this stuff. Maybe it's their oldness that won't allow them to remember anything from farther back. Or maybe nothing interesting happened "way back when"

Absolutely..Did it every year

I jinxed myself.  Went over the handlebars on this morning's ride.  Trying to decide if an ER visit is in my future.
