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.
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?

Absolutely fantastic movie. There's a damn good reason that its sitting at 98% on rottentomatoes.

Kids don't do that anymore. Gas is too expensive, and they can just text or facebook their friends instead of actually having to go track them down to have a conversation
Wasn't true for my group. I grew up in a small town in NE Arkansas, and graduated in 2010. If we were bored, we would drive up to Sonic or the old Walmart parking lot and just hang out. Wouldn't ask who all was there, just went and talked to whoever was

HOLY shite, WHO the frick are you?!?!???
To answer your question, too many to count, as well as south.
Eta - "smelly" sometimes, particularly in Fall & Winter when wind was coming from the north, but I was taught from a very early age that it "smelled like $$$$."

Just a fly on the wall or a ghost in the closet
Have a ton of memories growing up there. Graduated in '88 and after college left and never looked back, ended up in El Dorado. I go back every now and again to visit, can't believe how much the area has regressed and ironically progressed. What year did you graduate?

The whole movie has a authentic feel to it. From the kids hanging out at Piggly Wiggly, Sonic and the bonfire party to being in the woods or on the water the entire time.
The piggly wiggly and sonic really brought the authentic small town feel to the movie. Great directing, great acting all around
Agree. Reminded me of places growing up and other things.
Good movie.

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.

I just watched it last night. It was a really good movie, one of the best I've seen in a while.

I don't understand how Mud asked the boys to get him food, and each time they brought it to him he acted like he was starving to death, and yet he was always smoking a cigarette for several days. Where was he getting the cigarettes?
