Riding my Sting Ray Bicycle from West Covina to Huntington Beach, to Knotts Berry Farm, before they put up a fence around the park and started charging you to get in. We rode those bike every where to Legg Lake to go fishing, Azusa canyon to East Fork going was tough but coming back was a blast, there was a monkey farm in Baldwin Park we use to go to. Oh and .25 and .35 to go to the show for all day :jumpie

Had a bicycle paper route

I used my clay wheeled skateboard to deliver 'em.......back when newspapers were "afternoon" deliveries, only Sundays were AM.

Playgrounds under the drive-in screens.

Allowed to roam the streets/neighborhoods at 4 or 5 yrs of age without paranoid parents worried about creepers 100% of the time.

We had an outlaw radio station that came on at night XROK 80. It was out of Mexico I'm pretty sure. When all the cars just had AM radios it made the nights a little funner. :love

How about Price Club?

Watched a show about Costco and how it works. Pretty amazing that they have a standard markup of 15% and make millions but they sell billions, so it works. :comp
