-One of my favorite spots in Morgantown also lies in South Park--Grandview Park. This is one of the best places to be in Morgantown on a summer night. It's a park with swings, of both regular and tire varieties, a sandbox, slide, and field. But what has always most interested me is the two huge green watertowers, which, when you throw stones at them, create a strange, circular-humming echo, somewhat like an amatuer digerry-doo player. <img src="watertowers" width=400 length=600>

-Hanging out in a park after-hours was about the worst thing I did in high school, and it made me feel a little cool to be breaking a rule, no matter how innocently. But I think we all felt even cooler when a neighbor yelled at us for hitting the watertowers with small pebbles, making loud humming noises. As we ran back to the car, away from the threat of an old lady calling the police, we mentally made plans to return the next weekend.

-This node is great! I like that you examine a place that not too many people take advantage of, obviously and unfortunately.

-I think that you have captured this park very well! I have never been there but i've heard about it. This node describes what you used to do and that you can still enjoy it today!
