My parents and I were talking about it the other day - from 1st-5th grade I walked about a mile to school. Not far, but some of it was through some pretty dense woods. And I almost always walked to school by myself but the Rambo brothers (honestly, that was their last name) walked home with me. I guess their Dad took them in the morning or something.

In 5th and 6th grade my brother and again walked through even denser woods to get to school.

I look at these two places today and I wouldn't even walk in there MYSELF, let alone send a little kid in there. But back then.....that's what I miss. That you didn't have to lock your doors, you could talk to and take candy from strangers and you didn't have to make "playdates" - you just knocked on doors until someone could come out and play.
