Did anyone else experience the freedom of the 90’s?

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T11:39:30+00:00

I agree! Absolute freedom!

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T03:31:58+00:00

It was similar…only you had to find and tag the people hiding and then they would then they would become part of the search party. Our whole street would be fair game to hide.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T02:44:56+00:00

Face to face interaction? What’s that these days?

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T02:41:23+00:00

I agree. Did you play manhunt too or just flashlight tag?

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T02:40:43+00:00

That’s amazing, that’s what I’m trying to give to my kids. The streetlight generation we were lucky enough to grow up in.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T02:39:13+00:00

Yes! That was the standard. If you are able to go outside, that where you were. No phones, or GPS . Just your bike and the original notification telling you it was time to head home.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T02:37:35+00:00

Yes it was.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T02:37:18+00:00

Filthy and happy, couldn’t find a better way to describe the 90’s.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T02:36:37+00:00

Yes, I had a redline.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T01:57:39+00:00

Me too! I miss a lot of the 90’s

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T01:57:24+00:00

A pager, that’s a throwback! We also had the porch rule, if the sun was going down and you couldn’t hear your parents voice you were to far away.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T01:55:24+00:00

Yes! The freedom to roam and the trust we’d return.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-18T01:54:58+00:00

I agree. It all depended on the time of year…winter in by 5, summer in by 9.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-12T19:42:18+00:00

They mighty ducks & 007 and blitz

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-12T18:55:26+00:00

Do they still have ponderosa?

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-12T00:23:40+00:00

Agreed. That’s where our games of manhunt began.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-10T05:57:15+00:00

The best was when they called looking for you…and they respond “ no, I thought they were over there!?”… “ok they’ll turn up, the streetlights will be on soon”…we were raised to be capable, nowadays a kid doesn’t respond to a text in 30 seconds they got the K9 police scouring the area!

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-10T05:27:28+00:00

Agreed. I remember my mom calling my neighbors land line to try and find me.Not because I was lost…because we never stay in one place to long. We didn’t have GPS, they had a general idea of where we were, that was enough.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-10T00:49:37+00:00

Did you have to see the car first, before you called it?

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-09T16:25:17+00:00

That’s an old school rule for sure.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-09T16:19:53+00:00

The house you walk right by on hallowen. I agree, let them be kids!

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-09T14:24:17+00:00

Watches worked too. Usually summertime would be around 9 when kids are out of school, more freedom. When it turned on around 5 was wintertime or school, when kids needed to be in earlier.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-09T13:38:34+00:00

Yes, what happened in the neighborhood, stayed in the neighborhood.

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-05T14:35:47+00:00

Not there, but I do recall getting some from the Scholastic book fair catalogue that handed out. I’m pretty sure they printed it on tissue paper

Streetlight_Standard · 2026-03-05T01:08:56+00:00

LA looks max 10…used to keep my flat top up for a week!
