Okay–we have the first few entries into our Memory Lane contest, so I guess I can declare it open.
Unknowable remembers cashing in pop bottles. I should’ve done more of that; I would’ve had more root beer.
Ina mentions skipping rope, playing marbles, and something called “chute.” In our neighborhood the favorite sidewalk game was hopscotch.
Thewhiterabbit enjoyed pickup baseball and football games on the school’s playing field–which it seems is not allowed there anymore.
Let’s run the contest for two weeks and see how it turns out. Winner gets an autographed book and a write-up here.
I think I’ll ask Byron the Quokka to be the judge.
P.S.–You most certainly do not have to be “old” to play! The contest is open to all.
