Came to Canada in 88', and growing up here, I truly feel it was safer to be outside as a kid than it is now... I used to stay out late, and was allowed to ride the bus at a fairly young age alone (made mistakes, but learned from them). Nowadays, it seems parents, rightfully so, hold their kids back from these types of experiances.
Story Book Gardens before the remodel, the Ice House, the old McDonalds near the 401 with the awesome play place... good times
