BEIIEVIIIE Is there really such a thing as life in the fast lane in Belleville? Some may say no. but they just don’t know where it’s at. There is always something to do if you are willing to look hard enough. Sometimes there is more to do than you have time for, and other times you have to work at having a good time. Some of the main points of interest around Belleville include the two movie theatres downtown for the Eas- tenders and the Quad Cinema and Skyview Drive-in located in the west end. When there is nothing better to do. people with nice cars, old cars, fast cars, slow cars, and even people without cars, can be seen hanging out cruising up and down Main Street. Occasionally, someone will have a well publicized party and herds of people will show up. Those are always a blast! For people who like to shop, you can always take a drive up to St. Clair Square in Fa irview Heights. Some people enjoy just hanging around at the mall on weekends. Of course, there is always good old Taco Bell, which is known as THE hangout for East Lancers. You can be sure to see just about anyone and everyone on a night out at Taco Bell. I’m sure there are lots of other things going on all the time around the area that I haven’t even mentioned. So all you dead heads that are always complaining about how boring Belleville is. get out there and try a night out in the fast lane and experience just how much fun Belleville can be!
