Because of the lack of communication you wasted a whole lot of time trying to see who was around and who wanted to do things. You'd buy 10 minutes over to Jimmy's house see he's not there bike 10 minutes back like 5 minutes the other direction then Gerald's house.
Movie theaters and concessions used to be a lot less expensive even considering inflation.
There were malls and arcades. Department stores with cheap cafeterias.
As others have said standing in line was the worst. The best you could hope for was that you'd be able to do some people watching or maybe you got a book with you if you're the type to read.
That reminds me, I used to carry a book everywhere. I certainly don't do it half as much nowadays.
