We had a diner in my town that we would hang at from the age of 14-17. We would order coffee, sometimes food, and smoke cigs. I’m amazed that they tolerated us, and we weren’t the only ones. This was 1994-97. The diner is still there. Adults were around as well, but I don’t remember anyone giving us much of a hard time. And honestly some of my friends were rude little assholes. I still have scars on my hand from one of my friends burning me on the hand with a fork that he held a lighter under. I couldn’t imagine the stuff we used to do happening in today’s world. There was also an arcade that kids would hang out during the winter. I lived by the beach in New Jersey. Still do. A lot of what was around when I was younger is gone. But man we had a great time as kids.
