The more I see, the more I feel blessed to have missed the years of TV I did, basically after first year of Dukes of Hazzard until The Cosby Show/the Commodore 64 came out. Dallas, Dynasty, and shit like this. No thank you. [though I treasure discovering Hill Street Blues on DVD] |

Cruising died because it's no longer necessary. I talk about this with my students all the time: cruising was a way to find people and make plans once you left your house. It always had such a cool rhythm to it with expectation of what might happen. Sometimes magic of finding a perfect secluded kegger where the girl you were crushing on was going to be and other times nothing but boredom and not running into anyone. Regardless , the experience is dead now because of cell phones. Kids don't have to cruise to find out what's going on. They just all text each other and it's on immediately.

Yeah. It's just crazy to me. I'll talk about "cruising" in lectures occasionally and one day I realized that I was referencing a cultural touchstone rendered meaningless to this generation.

Interestingly, sports bike cruises arose AFTER car cruising died out. NY had that huge controversy when the SUV driver ran over a sports biker in panic, but St. Louis has had similar wheelie and burnout festivals on the interstates for coming on a decade now.

There was a Red Barn at about 95th and Metcalf, but it closed in the late 70s I think. |
