In almost every residential community,there was a handful of houses where all the kids hung out after school,in the evening,on weekends.Some were supervised playhouses where parents purposely created youth-friendly environments—even if it meant feeding everyone else’s kids—so they could keep an eye on their own children.The others were houses left unattended for such long stretches that anything went.These were the homes where adolescent rebellion was being pushed beyond even the thresholds dared in the sixties—when at least there had been some modicum of reverence left for the physical power of drugs,some residual respect for the emotional potency of sex.These were the homes where seventies kids would remember first trying marijuana,first vomiting from cheap jug wine,first acting upon sexual feelings.These were the homes where the minimum age for certain rites of passage had gone from twenty-one to eighteen to fifteen to thirteen in a matter of years,where high school kids were suddenly having college and postgraduate fun.These were the homes that were the epicenters of the quakes that were beginning to crumble the dream of the Great Northeast.
