We had lawn darts. No one died, but I did have to get stitches in one arm because me and the boy threw them at each other.

We would have lawn dart wars. From treehouse to treehouse. We never got seriously hurt. When our parents finally decided to confiscate them, we started using slingshots and rocks.

The Borscht Belt, then and now

The indoor pool at Grossinger’s, which opened in 1958. Elizabeth Taylor attended the pool’s opening, and Florence Chadwick - the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions - took the first dip in it. From Ross Padluck’s excellent “Lost Architecture of Paradise”: “…The new indoor pool at Grossinger’s was the zenith of the Catskills. Nothing quite like it had ever been built, and nothing ever would be again. It represented everything about the Catskills in the 1950s-style: extravagance, luxury, modernism and celebrity.”
quote:
Grossinger’s indoor tennis center. The rear of the postcard is an ad for Grossinger’s rye bread, a local staple during the resort’s operation. Resort royalty Jenny Grossinger lays out the pitch: “The fun and fresh air people get here at Grossinger’s really gives them an appetite. They love all of our food - and a particular favorite is our Grossinger’s rye and pumpernickel bread. Now you can get this same healthy, flavorful bread at your local food store. Try a loaf. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

I don't think models in the 50's let their tits hang out like that, or wore bell bottom jeans..... Even "hot rod models"

When ours got taken away by my parents we had to return to using pellet rifles. And sometimes we would have pine cone wars. Those green ones will leave a mark. Metal garbage can lid as a shield made us think we were spartans.
Its a wonder any of us made it to adulthood.
