We had black and white TV in the 1960's and I still played outside. The ONLY people during the "1%" generation who walked to the store downtown, were people who lived near the downtown area. Yes, some cities had playgrounds. No idea where you got the idea that they didn't exist in the 1930's - the first municipal playground was built in 1907 in New York City.
