| t was a busy year in I the entertainment world. With all those marriages and divorces, make ups and break ups. What was hot and what was not in movies, television, and the stars? The latest gossip on the tabloids? Here's the whole story on entertainment. Shopping was a top ten pastime this year. Going shopping provided a time away from parents and a lot of fun with friends. What was important wasn't the quality of the things bought but the quality of time spent with friends, having fun. Shopping at the Dales was an old favorite still carried through from junior high. This year, however. students broadened their territory to include City Center and the Conservatory downtown. Calhoun Square and the other tiny shops Uptown were also a common choice. Whether buying a pair of socks or a new leather jacket, students loved to shop. Shopping offered time away from school and pdrents with their most entertaining friends at their side. The friends made the experiences at the malls memorable and shopping for new clothes always was most enjoyable with someone fun. Roler skating is no longer groovy to many students. ntertainment for teenagers could have been nothing more than hanging out with friends. In the past these hangouts included Cheep Skate, bowling alleys, and Valleyfair. But they disappeared from the list of Hot Spots. Movies 1. Fatal Attraction 2. Dirty Dancing 3. Lost Boys 4. Good Morning Vietnam 5. Pink Floyd The Wall This year's big after-the-game hangout was Rocky Rococo's where eating pizza and cheese bread was common fare. When parents were up at the cabin for the weekend or in Maui for the week, parties were where all the action was.

Another popular form of entertainment was the north side of Lake Harriet and Thomas Beach on Lake Calhoun. Each posed as a perfect place to meet other teenagers from all over the cities. It was here that guys and girls checked each other out while cruising around the Lakes. When it was scorching hot outside, the entertainment of the day was basking on the beach enjoying the heat. Sometimes the most welcome form of entertainment was just spending a quiet night at home, nestled in front of the VCR watching a good movie and munching on a bowl of popcorn. I 24 RANDOM NOTES
