You might think that in a sleepy little place like Cookeville, a person would
be hard pressed to find anything interesting to do. On the contrary, there are
many exciting activities to engage in on any given night.
Take Bowling World for example.. You could go and have a normal game with some
friends or try to impress a date by taking her cosmic bowling!
The Cookeville Mall (which is conveniently located next to Bowling World) is
also a popular spot in which to pass the time.
The mall contains several stores, and each of the stores contain numerous pieces
of merchandise.
Also in the mall is the ever-popular Fun Tunnel. The Fun Tunnel has a wide
variety of action-packed games ranging from Skee-ball to Star Wars and, of course,
the classic Pinball games. Granted, you may waste a good portion of your money
in this place, but you will not walk away empty-handed.
Many of the games give Fun Tunnel tickets which can be redeemed for some fabulous
Fun Tunnel prizes! If you are in the mood for some ice cream after a grueling
evening of bowling and FunTunnel games, just skip over to the Dairy Queen and
pick up a Blizzard or a Dilly Bar.
Other favorite activities include making fun-filled documentaries about Nicole’s
big night and Al Gore’s visit and other such events of great importance.
A perfect way to end filming is over a basket full of crispy tortilla chips
and flavorful salsa at El Tapatio (affectionately known by Charger staffers
as El Tap).
On a Thursday evening (after watching Friends, of course) you could go to the Highland Ten and catch a movie. One of the greatest evenings in Cookeville can be spent listening to various bands play at the Whistle Stop Cafe.
No matter what you do or where you go, any evening is a great evening if it
is spent with good friends.
Of course, sometimes “friends” are not always the fun ones to hang
out with. And if you can’t hang out with friends, you might as well hang
out by yourself. At home, at the movies, at restaurants--all are ideal places
to visit with or without accompaniment.
So instead of having a terrible time with people who don’t make you happy, make your own fun.
