I felt that, kids today don’t do much anything fun anymore. When I was in my teens we would drive all over Perry and meet up at one of the two lakes or car wash and spend countless hours doing dumb **** and cruising. Now every Father’s Day Enid does a pretty good two night cruise. Then throughout the summer/fall they have random cruises. But it’s mostly stock/normal/modern cars that aren’t interesting. Or real young kids in things that shouldn’t even be on the road
You guys got to remember when we were out cruising around all night gas was like $1.05/gal (at least for me). I understand why they don't do it now with it over $3, it's to dang high an around my area the places we used to hang out at, they got the cops involved an had everyone ran off if you're "loitering"
You both have great points!
Gas is expensive as capital F here right now. The only real bar in town closed long time ago, Al there is now are a few lounges, no dance floors to get your groove on and meet up with the girls.
We used to just cruise around the lap, would usually congregate at a ma and pa style burger joint. The owner didn't care as long as we didn't do anything stupid, he was a car guy, had a mint pimped out Caddy he would park out front. Then we would decide which of the two bars to go to that night or who's house if we were broke.
Hell a pack of smokes, bottle or rye and 2L of pop was less than $20. And we were all making at least that an hour back then. Now I can't get smokes for less than that!!! Lol
Now if you wanna see where the kids in their cars and truck gather, it's either outside one of the multiple Vape shops or Weed shops in town! Lol
Town has less than 5k people and 3 weed shops!
Man....times have changed, and not always for the better.
Gonna go shake my fist at a cloud now!!
