I actually have this issue still. Back when gaming magazines were must-haves for their in depth walkthrus.

Broken/fallen tree branches. That's right, branches. What kid didn't have sword fights and ninja battles with the ultimate kids toy of them all? We used to beat the living shit out of each other with whatever sticks we could find, that was awesome stuff.

Yep, curtain rods. Sorry, we were dirt poor and I probably had as many toys in my entire life, as some of you got on a shitty birthday. We would play hockey with socks, and we also beat the shit out of each other with these things. Awesome stuff.

I used to have like 100's of old nintendo power mags

i also beat the shit out of my brothers with these like a crystallas when i was younger. good shit.

Parkour? You weren't a kid, unless you were hopping fences. Usually the best part about hoping over fences, was the stuff on the other side. Shortcuts to the park, backway into a friends house, and best of all, midway airport(when it had 12' chain-link fences as its only guard back in the day.) I should mention that I lived 100 feet from the airport as a little kid.

I'm just curious... what would you do in Midway?

Hide and seek, watch planes/helicopters/blimps(yes blimps!). We were smart kids. It wasn't like any of us would vandalize property or hitchhike off the wings of airplanes! We were all just curious.

There were abandoned factories and warehouses in Bedford Park too, which wasn't far out. Now those were dangerous, but we peeped anyways LOL!
