I went to school in Texas (Austin) until I was 12 and never saw a tether ball pole until I moved to Colorado when I was 13. I have never seen them at parks here in Texas either. I don't think its a Texas thing.

It's nice if you'll also provide a trip to Whataburger.
That's true, but I don't think it's necessary for you to belittle those that do the jobs that our children are fortunate enough to never have to do.

Native Texan/Houstonian. It was at the park down the raod from my house in the late 80's. It was really old then.
