Iresearcher was a fun and interesting essay to read. Reading it brought back memories of growing up and our "Hanover Bowladrome" which was the Mendon Town Beach. It was our family gathering spot in the summer, and some of my best friends to this day are those that I met their with theirs families as well. The MTB was jam packed every day of the summer growing up, but I now question whether it is the same family atmosphere that it used to be. The lifeguards and concession stand employees were the same teenagers that worked there as I grew up, and I know that some of those people still spend their summer days at the good old Mendon Town Beach. Reading Iresearcher was an easy read because it was easy to follow and it gave me a sense of what the Hanover Bowladrome looked and felt like. The emotional connection was a great addition, with the coping of a loss and having somewhere to simply escape to. Will have to make it a priority to go and check out the MTB more often this summer, to answer the same questions that were asked about the Hanover Bowladrome. :)
