.Gotta wear your toughskins on swing day
Without a doubt! And yes, Dad put the trapeze bar on it for us too. I think it disappeared from our yard sometime during my first year of college while I was away. That swing set provided many years of enjoyment for three kids.

Flyer from London 1792, organizing the hanging of Thomas Paine in effigy.
Note how it details the height of the gallows

Loyola Fieldhouse, under construction in uptown New Orleans. I remember going there once when I was in high school. It was torn down in 1986 and replaced with a new combo rec sport complex and parking garage.
Here's what is funny. Many people know that both the New Orleans Buccaneers (ABA) and the NBA's New Orleans Jazz (in their 1st season) played in the Loyola Field House. Everyone looks back on it as the teams having to play in this "old" building and from accounts back then it seemed that was the general description of it AT THE TIME as well.
But the truth is, this photo is from Feb. 1954, and the building opened later that year in time for the 1954-55 basketball season. When the Bucs played there, the facility was only 13 years old. when the Jazz played there in 1974-75, it was only 20 years old.
Compare that to the Smoothie King Center (1999) which is now 27 years old or the UNO Lakefront Arena which is 43 years old, or even the Superdome, which is 51 years old.
