We had an interesting hiking incident take place up here this week. A hiker got in trouble on Franconia Ridge in the Whites and for some reason thought the first call he should make looking for help should be the the local hiking page "Hike the 4000…

Quote from Astro: “Don't normally pay any attention to the NFL, but when I saw the Dolphins (team of my youth) upset the Patriots, I though it might be worth watching the replay while I was eating. You may just want to speed ahead to the 5:40 mark in…

i read that amicalola falls state park has a promotion on cabins, so i checked it out. the reservation system shows you everything -- the lodge, cabins, and tent sites. i was shocked at the price of a campsite -- $45 per nite on the weekends and $35 per…

Quote from odd man out: “I've heard of candle pin bowling but never seen it or done it. However I do remember duck pin bowling when I was growing up in the DC area in the 60s and 70s. I even recall the local TV station would broadcast duck pin…

...speaking of fun nights out in MD a long time ago... My good friend was getting married (probably around 1980). Everyone went out to a crab house in Annapolis (awesome). Then the guys went to some redneck bar for a bachelor's party. One of the guys in…

I grew up in between DC and Baltimore, but closer to DC. However I once went with a group to a polka hall somewhere in the "Balmer" area. It was a hoot. It was probably around the late 1970's.

While I grew up with traditional bowling and even was on our club team one year in college, I have never done candlepin or duckpin. On the other hand with raising four children, I have done a lot of skee ball at Chuckie Cheese.

Duckpin is even rarer than Candlepin. I believe there is one duckpin lane left in the Boston area, although there are still several in Rhode Island. Duckpin has ten-pin style pins (candlepins are straight), but you throw three smaller balls like in…

I recently tried the similar game of Duckpin Bowling for the first time. It seemed to have many parallels to your description of your local candlepin lanes. Everything was original (1958 iirc) Complete with the ashtray with eight cigarette holders at…
