    Here's the thing about that. Any research I've ever done shows water slides being at Eastport and not Mall 205. But I was always curious about the tower of stairs that used to stand inside near the candy shop and jewelers stores on the main walkway. What was that for? It used to have a Super Pretzel cart right next to it. If you were coming from Montgomery Wards and walking east, it was probably a third of the way down.


    I am doing well, man. How are you?

    I remember buying one of the first calculators at J.K.Gill. Thing was huge and did addition, multiplication, subtraction and division, nothing else.

    PSU, right?

    My best and worst memory of downtown is getting girls to flash my friend's video camera in the early 90s.

    It was AWESOME.


    5 years later Girls Gone Wild began and I was depressed.

    I remember my friend bought one of those 4 function calculators when he entered PSU as a freshman in the fall of 1972. If I’m not mistaken, the thing cost $99.....which was one helluva lot of money back then.

    One of my favorite non titty videos was of my friend Brian seeing 8 guys chasing one kid. He said that was fucked up and chased the 8 guys away.

    I wasn't there and didn't believe them until I saw it.

    He was a bouncer at Dodge City Saloon for a while. Supposedly got fired for starting more fights than he stopped.
