Dint have street lights in the 'burbs.
We had these for lighting up closed roads though.

Why they thought boys wouldn't use them for "night bowling" is beyond me.

I had forgotten about these! Yes, they would be used like the amber battery-operated lights are nowadays to light up roads under construction.

Ours as well, and if you didn't there was some part of a tree that was awaiting your arrival for those who do not know what I am talking about it looks like this ha ha ha and your parents would light up your backseat with it. I always joked my mom would just being getting out of prison if they had the same rules today back then.

Same here .

I hated school. I used to play sick (actually was just loaded with anxiety) and fight with my mother at least one day a week to not go. On some days she'd lose it, and try to drag me out of bed. One day, she was chasing me around the house to grab and dress me, and picked up a toy plastic rifle that my brother had - to try and swing at me and scare me. I started yelling, quite seriously, "I'll go to school!!! I'll go! I'll go!!!! Just put down the rifle!!!!" My mother noticed as soon as I started yelling that, that the window was open . She fell to the floor cracking up... and said, "I can't even imagine what the neighbors are thinking "

Could you imagine something like that in 2017?

Cant find a picture - but I have one somewhere in hardcopy - of that 80s fashion mess: rugby pants and leather jackets. And a mullet.

I do not recall that trend. You must find a picture to express the horor. Forth-with, poste-haste!!
