roaming

There’s an interesting article in the Daily Mail about how children aren’t allowed to roam around outside and play. The Doctor quoted in the article thinks this is harmful to children, and I would tend to agree. Here’s a map of where I lived until 4th grade.

I rode my bike everywhere. Every one of the x marks on the map was a place I would go on my bike. It was about half a mile to the elementary school, a route I took almost every day. I had a treehouse in the backyard and several friends on my block of the street. We spent a lot of time outside. I think it’s unfortunate that kids aren’t allowed to roam around anymore.
