SDC had the good sense to remove the Waterboggan before things got worse.

I loved the ride, but it was rough, and lots of people got bounced around in ways they shouldn't have.

Tyler Miles was booked in the Wyandotte County Jail Friday and charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of 10-year-old Caleb Schwab.

Did anyone have issues with the size/height/weight restrictions that some folks worried about?

It's funny that Dollywood is the exact opposite corner of TN from Memphis.

I always wanted to go to Graceland, but every time I got beat up by I-40 from LR to Memphis, and then navigated the constant construction zone that is Memphis itself, I quickly talked myself out of stopping by for a tour.

I like SMF, but I'm kind of old-fashioned about forums. I do not like vBulletin, especially from an admin's perspective. I also don't care much for it from a user's perspective, especially if the owner sets up too much bling.

I don't know which way you'll go, but thank you for this place. It's nice to have something that is archived, instead of forgotten in 30 seconds like FB groups.

Wish I was in Branson today; I'd give anything to be back in 30+ degree weather... It's -1 degrees where I live currently.

Our high/low forecasts for Sunday and Monday: -2/-20, 0/-24. I went to work at noon on Friday under bright blue skies; it was -6. We did get up to the forecast high of -3, though.

I am not far from Harrison and have many attachments there.  Harrison is not the hotbed of racism they have been saddled with.

I have friends from Harrison and Newton County, and I agree: just like my all-white home county (Polk), most of the racists moved there because it's almost all white, and weren't born there.

But there's still the connection, and when this snake-oil salesman moves in promoting "heritage", it's pretty clear who he's hoping to attract.

It's funny that a park that is 100% Christmas-themed came in at number 5. On the other hand, it is tiny compared to the others. It's also just 8 miles from my house.

Yes, all the rides are for the little ones. It's a huge regional draw, considering they only have about four acres of parking.

Speaking of which, it's time for a re-telling of the greatest Christmas story of redemption: Mick Foley, AKA "Mankind" the wrestler.

Take their suggestion: don't read the article, just click the audio, close your eyes, and listen. When you're done, you can go back and read the article and browse the photos if you'd like.

Life is good in northern New Hampshire.
