In no preferential order:
1. Sit down and read a book in the Thomas Balch Library. (Maybe a short story).
2. Ride a horse in Middleburg. (I'm not kidding).
3. Go running on the bike path. (I only go over in Maryland).
4. See a movie at the Tally Ho theater. (Okay, I have seen one movie-- but it was "Elf" with Josh Nesbit when I was 17, so that really doesn't count).
5. Eat at Al's Pizza. (I swear I never have).
6. Get invited to a party at a country club, and then not show up.
7. Pick flowers at Field of Flowers. (I'll probably get made fun of for this).
8. Sing with a band at Fred George's infamous 4th of July soiree.
9. Buy trashy merchandise from the new lingerie store across the street from the Courthouse in Leesburg. (And then take the bag into the church nearby and sit down at a pew and pray for my soul).
10. Shop for antiques with Cordelia Chamberlin at Edward's house. (This really needs no explanation).
wait... that's really a library? is tally ho still open?
ReplyDeleteal's pizza always looked like inevitable food poisoning to me. #9 sounds intriguing, #10 sounds like it needs to happen.
My dad used to do research at the Balch library all the time. I haven't been in there in so very long. I guess it used to be Leesburg's only library. Bike path obviously I've spent many hours on. Tally Ho--Daniel and I tried to get in there once...actually I should just make that a whole post sometime. It was one of my many drunk stories that is pointless and probably doesn't deserve a post.
ReplyDeletesaw inception at the tally ho. big mistake, but great movie despite the pull-down-classroom-map-size screen and sound coming up muffled through floorboards and insulation in the walls. it does have a great lobby though, with one wily teen running the whole damn place.
ReplyDeleteI hope to hear the full Tally Ho story some day. I feel like I should try to knock all ten things out this week. Too ambitious?
ReplyDeleteWell, one of those things takes place on Fourth of July, so...yes? But otherwise, you could probably do most of those without a problem.
ReplyDeleteA classic Tally-Ho trip was having my brother drive us to Star Wars when they re-released it in '97 and it played there.
ReplyDeleteI hate you, sometimes.
