You say they don't have the extra money to put into arcade games but they manage to find the money to buy alcohol and drugs. And, the younger kids have the playstations, nintendo, and wii at home. Now, if there was a water park - that might bring in money.

ya know, i am really surprised that there arent any recreational things to do in this town .
Such as maybe goony golf, go carts, an arcade, any kind of water park. I mean anything like that. With all the land out here, wouldnt you think that, that would be a good idea for the kids, even us adults (big kids). i know i would go to any of them.
Why do you think there is nothing like that here?

Hate to tell you, but the good ol' Thundercross is flat ground now! It isn't ever coming back! I'd wish someone would open a decent track up around here though, all these racecars are turning to rust piles.

| Well, I tried to log in yesterday and I couldn't. When I looked at my posts it showed me as a guest. Weird, huh? So, I contacted the webmaster and they couldn't find my account and told me to re-register. So, now I have to start over and the turtle is back. But, I didn't get kicked off or do anything wrong. They just lost me... Last edited on Tue Jul 22nd, 2008 08:18 pm by chobee buckeye
