Ever heard of Bovine Bingo ?
We didn't until me moved "South". That's not something you will find in Philadelphia, New York or Boston, and Paris, London or Madrid, ... It is a rural, Southern type of entertainment. Usualy a fund raiser for the local Fire Company, School or church. Care to make a guess? :D Does that exist in other "cultures" ? |

I have to admit, we have not yet gone & see one. When we moved to Virginia a few years ago, we read a lot of free local papers, the type you pick-up in gas stations, just to get a feel for the "cultural" activities available in the neighbourhood. That's how we learned about that. ![]() |

Hi Femuse, just out of curiosity, what part of Virginia do you live in? I'm curious because I'm a Virginian too, from the Chesapeake Bay region. And we have to "burn" our headlights too when it rains, or as we say "turn on." We live in a rural area, but bovine bingo 's a new one on me, but maybe that's because most of our farming is vegetables, wheat, corn and soybeans, no livestock.

We heard about bovine bingo in Buckingham County, just before we bought our place, in P.E. Co.
A refreshing change from Philadelphia, where we were "tripping" over crack addicts. The next word I can teach is "burnout". Here, our closest neighbors are: cows on the left, cows on the right. I think that "burn your headlights" may be said elswhere, but I have never seen that on a highway sign outside of NC. |

What a coincidence! As I said, I'm near the coast, on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, and my wife was born and grew up here, but I'm originally from the Philadelphia area too, I was born in Bryn Mawr and grew up in that area. Are you from Philadelphia originally?

A few blocks from a project / a few blocks from a tourist trap / surrounded by yuppies / an old Jewish cloth neighborhood dating back to the Civil War. All this was vey "colorful". Peaceful, it was not. :D Quote:
My husband started a craft store in 1968-9, before it was fashionable. A bunch of hippies living in bombed-out buildings - now turned into the tourist trap known as "South Street". Mike is originally from south Jersey. Semi rural place - before it was eaten by malls. We miss a lot of the convenience of a big city, but, if we had to do it again, we'll take "bovine bingo" any day. ![]() |
