I grew up in a small rural town in the 70s. Both my parents worked a six day week so after school and on Saturdays I was free. Me and friends would roam all over, farms, woods, beaches. Sometimes we’d hitchhike to other towns.
These days my kids are growing up in a city. I know there’s no comparison to the freedom I experienced versus what my kids do, but I also doubt I’d have been allowed as much freedom if I’d grown up in a city.








Look into the switch statement instead of the else ifs.
