>>975586>We all have those woods we would play in when we were growing up, right?There were two woods in my neighborhood growing up; (1970s-early 80s) The Field, (which had wooded and open parts) was along Mound Rd. behind the Post Office and Walker Woods, off 12 Mile Rd. near Ryan (both in Warren MI).
Walker Woods was kinda on the other side of the block, so my buddies and I only occasionally rode our bikes thru there but The Field was right by our homes, so that’s where we played army, built tree forts, shot BB guns and rode mini-bikes.
And when most of The Field was turned into light industrial, (late in jr.high) we trashed the construction site until they had to post a security guard.
There’s still a chunk of The Field left (the actual wooded part) behind the CORT Furniture store but the last time I looked back there, (several years ago) it was massively overgrown and it doesn’t appear that any kids go back there nowadays to goof around.
They probably just sit at home playing their tree Ultimate eXtreme tree fort video game instead…
