Nostalgia

A Suburban Childhood of Play in the 1960s and 70s

Posted: 12/10/07 09:19 PM

I grew up in an average middle-class suburb outside Pittsburgh, PA, but it was a very special place for me.  In the video below I recount my fondest memories of creative, independent play in our neighborhood.  Watch until the end to hear a story that would make huge headlines today.

By the way, I’d be happy to shoot one of these for a member or two - just as long as I can get to your old neighborhood in less than a plane ride.  (I’m in Palo Alto, CA.) If you want me to consider your stories for a video, please .
