Buying a pack of baseball cards for a quarter, and putting the duplicates that nobody wanted to trade for in my bike spokes to make a 'motorcycle' noise when I rode.
Reading superhero comics that were always complete in one issue - no 6-issue 'story arcs' or incredibly complex back-stories...just Superman or the Avengers or Spiderman beating up on the bad guys.
Coming home on weekday afternoons and watching a black & white episode of The Adventures of Superman, or the Lone Ranger, or Robin Hood (with Richard Greene)...a different show every day of the week.
Riding down to the Pruitt theatre with my sister every Saturday afternoon for the matinee, parking our bikes out front (no locks), seeing the movie for 35 cents, and popcorn was a dime a bag.
