We got some really great, really nostalgic answers to this one.
The Question
Our question this time was, "It's Friday night and you're 16-years-old, what are you doing?". The answers are a truly great trip down memory lane. We actually put this question out far and wide, but it's the Lubbock/West Texas answers that really hit you in the heart.
The Respondents
Our audience and social media friends are truly all ages. I don't believe we got any answers from anyone who is currently 16-years-old, but most other age groups are represented. It seems the "sweet spot" for these answers runs from the mid 80's to the mid 90's, but some things are very universal.
The Answers
Taking a moment and looking at the big picture, including the answers we received from other towns, it seems that "driving around" is pretty much the top answer. Most towns, especially in Texas, have what we refer to as a "drag" which is a circular route around a portion of town, usually with some fast food or drink place as part of it (sorry, but I didn't know what a "drag" was when I moved here at 6, so I thought I'd over-explain it).
The Troublemakers
I guess I also have to say that at age 16 at lot of these kids were doing very unsavory things. 16 is a very adventurous age, so there's a heck of a lot of things on here that could get you in a lot of trouble in any decade. So, prepare yourself for the answers to, "It's Friday night and you're 16-years-old, what are you doing?".
