Gas is hovering around 2.50 a gallon, not to mention the beast that will get you there needs to be insured, lest some dingdong a quarter car-length away is getting their last driving texts in before the law passes.<\/p>\nGas is hovering around 2.50 a gallon, not to mention the beast that will get you there needs to be insured, lest some dingdong a quarter car-length away is getting their last driving texts in before the law passes.<\/p>\n
The standard entertainment fodder, the motion picture, will set you back ten bucks a head (if you only see one feature while past the ticket kid) and they\u2019ve even raised the matinee prices!<\/p>\n
Dark times indeed, recessioneers.<\/p>\n
I propose a day built around free entertainment you may have overlooked.\u00a0 Enjoy your public and city services.<\/p>\n
Even if you\u2019re not a ball fan, there is some romantic nostalgia about listening to a sporting event on the radio.\u00a0 Radio?\u00a0 Whats that?\u00a0 It\u2019s something you\u2019re practically issued at birth.\u00a0 The Windy City and St. Louis has representation on the dial, as well as our own River Bandits.\u00a0 Radio, incidentally, was the frequency to be on during the Swing marketing regime.\u00a0 You could still have some civic pride without the embarrassing visual that it was your team in the powder blue and the mascot was a sunglasses-wearing monkey who is an implied jazz enthusiast\u2026or something.<\/p>\n
If you flip over to the public radio side, you\u2019re going to find premium music and entertainment programming.\u00a0 Some of these operas, classical music, news, and comedy\/quiz shows cost 5 figures a year to syndicate in this town.\u00a0 They only ask that you toss them a few shekels during fund drive week.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t remember when that is, they\u2019ll kindly break into programming like an audio Jerry Lewis every five minutes to remind you.\u00a0 There’s a lot of great stuff out there floating in the ether if you’ve got a decent command of the weekly program guide.<\/p>\n
Most cities, like Davenport, have multiple parks<\/a>.<\/strong> I have never driven by Vanderveer and not seen people having a good time at any given hour of the day.\u00a0 If you consider physical fitness a good time, there\u2019s more than enough of that in store if you have a decent pair of running shoes.\u00a0\u00a0 Borrow a Frisbee from someone and toss it around in one of the city’s numerous Frisbee golf courses.\u00a0 In general, most of those outdoorsy types are some pretty mellow cats, so don’t worry about cliques.\u00a0 And as far as flora and fauna, if you\u2019re over 16, gasp, it may cost you a DOLLAR to gawk at the displays!<\/p>\n I\u2019d be remiss to not mention the greatest entertainment savings of all, your local library.\u00a0 Preaching to the choir, I know.<\/p>\n “But Froogs, how would I get there,” says the cynic.\u00a0\u00a0 Davenport Citibus is free on Green Saturdays<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gas is hovering around 2.50 a gallon, not to mention the beast that will get you there needs to be insured, lest some dingdong a quarter car-length away is getting their last driving texts in before the law passes.
