<DIV>I already listed a bunch of things. There are many more I suppose, but I would settle for just a few. Reading a book seems to be the most entertaining thing to do Moscow. </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I grew up in Moscow and though my family had more money than families where a student is the primary financier of the household, we were not at a loss for family-friendly free activities (unless we were willfully bored). This is not to say that we can’t do better as a community at providing free and/or inexpensive activities, but I think many of us forget those things that are available to us. For example, I –regretfully—cannot remember the last time I went to the McConnell Mansion or picked up a walking tour guide of the towns history and hoofed it through Fort Russell (two activities that occupied Spring and Summer days of my youth). The library (which I remember as only being the old part of the building) was cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter. Organizations like Campfire, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and local churches provided the three of us a lot of fun
and educational activities (both our family’s church of choice and the churches or religious organizations of friends). My mom used to take us to Good Sam to distribute our wares after craft days at the house. We’d ride bikes out to Robinson Lake Park , “fish” in Hordeman’s pond, or take advantage of all the demonstrations, concerts and educational lectures the University offered. There were a lot of things to do!</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
