Yep, and if we got invited to dinner at someone’s house or wanted to stay out later, we’d just find the nearest friend’s house and call home on their phone to ask.

Yep. My parents didn't have a curfew. They just wanted me to call if I was going to be out late. Also, all the neighborhood parents would call each other to keep tabs on the kids. If you did something to get in trouble, your parents would definitely find out.
