As the weather improves,
more and more establish-
ments will be opening their
doors for business.
Some of these establish
ments include Putt-Putt,
Creamland, and Waldameer
Park and Water World.
Of course, some of these
places only thrive during the
daytime hours, so what can
one do on a nice summer
night once the sun has gone
down?
Well, its as easy as 1-2-3!
All that an individual needs
to do is 1) Have a car, 2)
The weekly column that asks if there is intelligent life out there
EQUAL, SHMEQUAL, COME HERE, BABY! Passengers on a flight from Stockholm
to the United States said that Sweden's gender equality expert, Lars Back, got good and
drunk and then harassed the stewardesses. One witness said, "He was insolent and his
behavior towards the women of the cabin crew was abusive." Beck topped off the episode
by vomiting into the lap of Margareta Winberg, the nation's female equality minister, who
is his boss.
STOP COUNTING US, I MEAN IT! BLAM! A Bedouin shepherd was shot to death as
he slept outdoors in Marsa Matrouh, Egypt, when one of his sheep knocked over his
loaded shotgun, causing it to discharge.
NOW, YOU BE NICE TO THE LITTLE LADY, BOYS: A Texas deputy sheriff is
going to become the first lawman from the Lone Star State to undergo a sex change opera
tion. His boss says that the officer will be allowed to keep his job during the three-year
process, and has ordered the other deputies not to make fun of him.
Figure out the quote and who said it by figuring out what these
letters translate to. Your clue: G equals E.

Add the Peninsula Drive-In
Theatre.
The Peninsula Drive-In
Theatre has entertained genera
tions of children, teens, and
grown-ups with their nightly
showing of not one, but two
movies
The first movie begins at
dusk and the movies are always
brand new, with show selection
changing frequently.
The theatre will soon be
opening its doors once again,
however, the theatre is not used
solely for the purpose of
showing movies.
The drive-in is also home to
one of Erie's largest flea

markets, which occurs on
certain Sundays
Many things are sold at the
flea market, including lighters,
clothes, and various other
contraptions.
So when people have nothing
to do on a nice summer night,
they should consider seeing
some flicks at the Peninsula
Drive-In Theatre. Its a great
place to go for hanging out with
friends, going on a date, or
even spending a night with the
family.
Cool movies and hot summer
nights definitely go hand in
hand, making the Peninsula
Drive-In Theatre a definite Hot
Spot In Erie.
