And small town Arkansas teenage years were marked by cruising main, Sonic on one end of town, and parking at the grocery store or hardware store.
Sounds eerily similar to my hometown.
After a few loops down Main St., around the Sonic, then back to the grocery store parking lot, rounding up friends, we'd hit the back roads to someone's deer camp, or dead end road, where someone ALWAYS had a couple of kegs.
When I visit my hometown, now, there are zero kids out & about. Then I remember internet, email, texting, etc. It's kinda sad to me. I definitely believe we had more fun growing up.

Holy shite. Yes, some dead end road, where some 25 year olds had scored a keg or two. And there was a fire.
This was my life from 15-18 years of age. Silver bullets and woodsmoke.

I think that's why Dazed and Confused resonated with early 90s kids so well. It was set 20 years in the past, but that lifestyle of cruising, drive in, rounding up people to throw a kegger in the woods was still the way we all lived.
Plus we thought 70s music was cool in the 90s.
I still love that damned movie.

I am certain you and I grew up in the same smelly one horse town, although I believe I am a couple of years older than you. Ah the memories of gravel road, going to the bootleggers, summers on the river and sitting on the parking lots on weekends. How many trips did you make to Willie's?

I would imagine the DWI/DUI scare has put a dent in cruising and back roads parties. Cops have a few more weapons at their disposal and penalties are higher.
