with no offense meant to Joy, or any of you , I think the question was what is there for YOUNG people to do ? I saw that question as pertaining to those under 21.
When I was in HS, I played in a band around the area. When we were not otherwise engaged, we would play at the youth center, or in the basement of one of the local restaurants , charge kids a quarter each to get in , and have a dance. I remember once a high school girl from Memphis commented to me on how much there was to do here (small town in the area) !. Nothing for them to do in Memphis !
I've thought about that statement a lot down through the years, and that does beg a question as to what is it for people under 21 to do ? Yea, they can go to the river, and if they are lucky enough for their folks to trust them in a boat even out on the river, but what is there for teens to do ? I got 2 pre-teen granddaughters, and I hope there is somewhere they will be able to go somewhere, and do things that will keep them out of trouble. I just don't know what that is.
