In reply to Frederick Rogers. I am grateful for the more or less care free childhood my parents providd for me. We took very few vacations, seldom ate out, and didn't have piles of toys, but we had plenty of freedom to design our own games and pick our own playmates.

In reply to Wesley Shaw. I too grew up in a neighborhood in Cleveland where we were free to roam far and wide and no one seemed the least concerned about where we went or what we were doing. Adults often spent evenings out on front porches watching kids play games in the middle of the street. Good times.

This story majestic me think of my neighborhood growing up in Joliet Illinois neighborhood called kerwyn terrace the men in the neighborhood built a type of house. We called it the community house once a month we had pot luck dinners there and anyone who played an instrument would have to take their turn in entertainment we had a community base ball field a community garden a community well and a community phone line where we could sometimes quietly lift up the phone and hear neighbors talking no one locked their doors people sat on the porches and talked to neighbors as they walked their dogs It was a beautiful community
