Kami Brockway: Rec center needed

When it came time to hang out with friends, we were either at the Gofer parking lot or other choice parking lots. We spent an occasional night at the movies; most nights out were spent sneaking into particular restaurant/bars. They provided us with the dance floors, pool tables, foosball and video games that we wanted to play.
