Camping Equipment Tips And Advice

July 30th, 2008

Though camping is not for everyone, there are many families that enjoy a weekend away in the wilderness. Some like to find an organized campground to camp for a few days or even a few weeks.

Different equipment is needed for different weather conditions. Even a sunny day can turn into a chilly evening and it’s a good idea to have some sort of portable heater.

So that you don’t lose your way while hiking to or from your group’s campsite, make sure that you have a map of the camping area, along with your compass, to help you find your way.

Camping is supposed to be a wonderful way to experience the great outdoors, so make sure that you have all the camping equipment that you need..

Missouri football

January 30th, 2008

One of the best Missouri tourist attractions is football. There are two professional teams in the state, the Rams and the Chiefs which says a lot for a state with as small a population as Missouri has. The teams are on opposite sides of the state which is a good thing as the fans are as rabid as any anywhere. You had best not mention the Rams while in a sports bar in Kansas City, no mention the Chiefs while in a sports bar in St Louis. Most of the middle of the state roots for both teams so they get along nicely but the closer you get to the cities the more one team fans there are. Both teams have excellent stadiums and excellent programs. Curt Warner gave a boost to the Rams when he was recruited from an arena team in Iowa called the Barnstormers. Iowa fans knew what Curt was made of, but St Louis fans were skeptical. Arena football is much faster paced than pro ball and that is what Warner brought to the Rams. The first year he was quarterback he led the team to the final game – you know the one, the one they won’t let you say the name of anymore.

Backyard Football | Still Popular?

November 20th, 2007

Nice info on backyard football. When I got older, we no longer played backyardfootball on Christmas. Instead, I played with my friends in the summer and fall. I always had a lot of guy friends, so this meant I did a lot of guy stuff. I had a few brave girl friends that would play backyard football with us on occasion, but there were many times when I was the only one that wanted to play. I always enjoyed sports, and they were always… read more now about BACKYARD FOOTBALL

Housing Developments Surrounding Sports Arenas

November 4th, 2007

Its interesting how the building of new era stadiums have evolved through the years.  Stadiums in the last 15 years have  spurred redevelopment of entire areas of inner-city and within the last few years, the cities and teams are not leaving the benefit of these auxiliary investments to the private developers.  When Coors Field was built in Downtown Denver in 1995, it kicked off a renaissance of Downtown Denver with new restaurants and condo developments that continue to this day.  The Coors Field plan only had the actual stadium in scope and private developers snatched up land around the stadium, in the new Ballpark District, enjoying a windfall of profit with Major League Baseball and the City of Denver to thank.

Stadiums built more recently have included housing in the stadium plans.  Minute Maid Park in Houston included condos in left field as part of the original stadium plans and the new home for the Washington Nationals, to open for the 2008 season, also included housing and retail in the stadium master plan.  These new stadiums have revived entire areas of the cities and housing in the area often caters to high-end clientèle and is in high demand.  Apartments for rent are also very popular among the 20-somethings looking to live the urban lifestyle.  Living near a downtown stadium makes for consistent excitement in your daily life, though it can be irritating at the same time when trying to leave and return home at game time.  This impact can be seen for decades, evidenced by the latest condo development in the few remaining empty lots across Blake Street from Coors Field going up in 2008.

A Piece of Rubber Keeps My Lacrosse Gear in Order and I Can Play Catch Without a Mess!
I have been playing lacrosse for 26 years now, thanks to my neighbor who presented me with a Green superlight II when I was around 6-8 years old. I started playing in the rec league when I was 8 and really only had to bring the stick and possibly the gloves as Shove Park provided the rest, which amounted to only helmets for the younger players.
