I had a similar experience in the rural south in the 90s, for what it's worth. I was largely given free reign to tromp around the (expansive) woods, had a bb gun that I liked to tote around, and at one point had a motorcycle - a ratty little 50cc honda dirtbike that I repeatedly wrecked into ditches and briar patches.
Point is, at least for "country" millennials, I think plenty of roaming did happen.
- pshposh 10y agoAt least for me this happened in suburbia too in the 90s. (Minus the motorcycle) edit: $1.25 at Burgerville is bonkers to me. We just had $0.29/$0.39 burger/cheeseburger Tuesday deal at McDonalds. Those days are gone...

- brandonmenc 10y agoDitto - early 90s, suburbia, Great Lakes region. Latchkey kid, summers spent biking around a couple mile radius, walked to the mall to play arcade games and eat McDonalds... magical times.
- christophilus 10y agoThis was my experience in the suburban south in the 90s. I think the south tends to be more hands off in many ways.
