Wood- creek provided loads of fun, If Austintatious Entertainment ustin, and the surrounding area, was full of fun and had a variety of entertainments that kept us from getting bored. Beautiful hill country and lakes provided outdoor pleasure. Bowling, skating, and pinball were favorite indoor games. Concerts, ballets, movies, and parties lent a cultured air to our nightlife. As the weather warmed up, we trooped out to City Park and Lake Travis for afternoons of swimming, skiing, boating or just soaking up the sun. David Ryan, a senior, and others could slalom so well it looked effortless. Quiet drives through the hill country led to camping sites with peaceful fishing holes on Travis. ln town, the hike and bike trail at Pease and Zilker parks, soccer, softball, frisbee and tennis increased in popularity. Pros and amateurs alike made good use ofthe sun, batting multicolored balls around the court. And even if you didn't know how to play, a sexy tennis dress never tailed to catch a second glance. Ahhh . . . night time! lt was the right time. After wearing yourself to a frazzle all day with studying, tests, and learning, you had to have time to relax. Following a big event, a special date, or just because you felt like running around, was an absolute necessity to stop at your favorite night spot to eat, drink, and be merry with friends in the lights, noise, and action of places like Northcross Mall, The Still, or Mr. Gatti's on a Saturday night. Anything from the latest gossip to the top hit ofthe week could be heard in it snatches and pieces escaping through the door as new arrivals entered, or as restless teenagers bounded out the door to look for bigger and better things. As you stepped inside, the scene was like a physical blow to your senses. Lights blinded you, the smell ol nachos or pizza drifted past your nose teasingty, and you could feel the pent up excitement of a teenage crowd on a Saturday night. Popular Northcross Mall provided food, entertainment, and a chance to meet new people at the Gold Mine, an arcadeg ice Age skating rink, a movie theater with six screens: and a handful of places to eat or drink. The Gold Mine specialized in electronic games and packed in junior high and high school entertainment 25
