Which they did every S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night.

There was a Sid and Marty Kroft amusement park in the Omni Hotel in downtown Atlanta in the mid-70's. My family was coincidentally there the week it opened, and my brother, my mother and I got stuck on a ride that was a giant pinball machine that you ricocheted around in a pinball-shaped car.
I seem to recall that we were on the local news after that incident.
I also recall a restaurant called something like "Pitty-Pat's Porch" where the waitress kindly brought me Shirley Temple after Shirley Temple, probably starting my love afair with cocktails.
Off to pack. La de dah.
