--- Quote from: Andrew on October 04, 2006, 08:26:04 pm ---I just was remembering a game I'd used to play with a few neighborhood kids in fall in my big backyard in Indianapolis. We would rake the leaves into elaborate mazes sort of like this one (but not so perfect!):
And then try to catch each other by running through the maze without jumping over 'walls'! We didn't use a pattern for the mazes, we just let them grow quickly and spontaneously by accretion. Otherwise, it would be getting dark before it was time to do the chasing!

Andrew, thanks for that and also for including the picture of the maze. Did you ever go to New Harmony (down by Evansville) and go through the maze there? It is a big one and you can easily get lost in it! :D

Larz... Yes I love the Pyramids too. I use to work at 80th and Michigan Road, so I drove by them every day on my way to work. No, sorry I don't have any stories about them.
...... do you? ;)
Speaking of Ayr-Way, do you remember Burger Chef? Another Indianapolis classic! Of course they are gone now, but mom use to take me and my sister to Burger Chef every other weekend.
I always ordered a hamburger, small french fries and a vanilla milk shake! :D

Howdy David!
In the neighborhood again, boy I'm in your neighborhood alot lately.
Anyways I thought I would drop you off a housewarming picture for your new place here. Remember when I told you I have driven through Indiana several times? Well this is a picture I took at at rest stop for coffee. I thought it was a beautiful sunset. I have several pictures from trips i took but I thought this one was perfect for your wall.
tGot to run!

Jess...
I use to build forts in my backyard. I would drag out all the benches chairs and tables I could find and position them next to each other, on top of each other (and any other position I could think of). Then, I would go back into the house and grab all of my mom's clean sheets, take them outside and cover all the tables and chairs with them. Next I would grab all her clean towels and line the inside of my fort with them.
I loved it! :)
My mom didn't. :(
