Most of mine have been mentioned already, but a couple more came to mind:
- Going to "Pick a Pop" (or something like that) where you filled a plastic crate with assorted flavours of bottled pop, then returned your empties next time you went there.
- Boomers soccer games - none of the teams we got afterward ever seemed to approach that level of play, with some big-name European players in the league.
- Growing up in a neighbourhood where pretty much every other house on the street had young kids, and having schools in communities where young families could actually afford to live.
