Growing up in a small town before big corporations took out most mom and pop stores was an especially fun time. The towns were vibrant and their Main Street or square was the center of activity during the day with adults shopping and during the evening for the teenagers, especially Saturdays! You knew every person in town and the surrounding farm community and they knew you. All of the adults looked out for the children so it was like we had more than our own parents, we had a whole community of parents. The time period for my adventures was during the 1960's and 70's.
