My best friend lived a few blocks away with a few houses and patches of woods between us. I used to watch Night Gallery at his house then have to walk home.
Well actually I would run home. I would call my mom to tell her I was on my way home and I believe before she could hang up the phone I would be there!
At the midway point I had to make a decision whether to go the long way by staying on the streets or to take a shortcut that meant going through a short patch of woods to come out at the back of our property.
Mostly I remember spending a lot of Friday nights at his house so we could watch cartoons on Saturday morning. That was back before the 500 channel universe where you can watch cartoons 24 hours / 7 days a week.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
