Back to the Hood

above: looking down snowy Hill Street, Norwood - my old 'hood'

Growing up in this area in the sixties meant we were outside all the time. Whether we were playing football, road hockey, tag, hide and go seek, climbing these trees, picking acorns, riding our bikes, going to Mrs Baizley's, going to the Milky Way for ice cream, going skating (outside), whatever. You get the picture. We were active. And we did it all right here in a two or three block radius.
We certainly weren't sitting in our room playing video games.......playing with an Etch-a-Sketch for a minute or two was about as close as we came to an immobile activity. We would even run along the snow banks, like you see here, all the way to school. Crazy kids!
