I love the one with the kids climbing all over the fire escape. Wouldn’t be allowed now. Too dangerous.

I remember playing on fire escapes when I was a kid. Of course, I also remember cars with no seat belts, so that tells you how old I am.

Three kids on their bikes, doing the puddles. I remember those days. We were so completely into it, mud and all.
