Childhood in the 50s #MohawkValley NYS.
The kids on my street (from 2-8 of us) spent countless hours based from this porch playing all sorts of (mostly-active) games until the street light came on; later on weekends. Some games we invented, like ”Who Falls the Best” where each would pretend to get shot from those cement slabs we are sitting on (win was based on dramatic effect including landing on the lawn).
My friend and I (pictured in that order). I lived across the street and up one house.
