Pools here have them, too. And the one where we used to live in PA had just added a huge twisty slide before we moved.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And people don't delete stuff to make room from their hard drives any more?
Really? I delete stuff all the time.
I do, too. There were a few on that list that made me boggle.
I mean, the Victrola still plays as good as ever, so there's no need to replace it!

The town I grew up in didn't have any stores by the time I was old enough to go to them. The grocery store was open until 9 pm and 6 pm on Sundays.
A few years back a WFMU DJ was telling the story about how a listener (who I think was about 19) called her and asked what a 12" single was.

Heh. I think for the subtlety -- you got your booze in a brown paper package? But I don't actually know.
Also, I had a friend in high school whose boyfriend was nicknamed "Packy" like the liquor store, and no one thought there was a problem with that!

Mass. is crazy. Even in my youth, package stores there were open until 10 pm, not 8 pm, as in the ever-more-civilized Conn.
