Its like this all in alot of places. I visited a friend in Texas last year in May and at 1:00 on a Sat. afternoon,70 degrees,sun shining, the "perfect" day for a kid to be outside. There wasnt one on the street. I even said to him," Wow,you have no kids living on your block " and he told me that theres at least 20 kids on the block all around 8-12 years old but they never just hung out on the street. They either went to each others houses or to play inside or in the yard or they all were on the computers,IM'ing each other.
