Was watching some old television programs on MeTV and a few took me back to remembering how my grandmother and her friends all loved going to Bingo games at their church. It seemed to me (as a kid anyway) that all "older" people went to Bingo, especially the women.
These days don't hear that much about Bingo, has it dropped off the radar for the "senior set"?
We play music bingo. Instead of announcing "B-17!" the leader plays a music snippet and you have to find the correct title on your binge card. It's always popular music from back in the day. They also announce the song title, just in case you don't happen to know what some old Led Zeppelin song was called.
Our town still has "themed" bingo. Longaberger basket bingo, feel the heat (spicy food baskets), trip bingo (bus fares to various tourist venues.).
Most have moved to community buildings . It's safer since the buildings are equipped to deter certain weaponry. They respect the publics right to enjoy an evening without being subjected to a person or group wishing to cause harm.
Best thing I enjoy at our bingo is the sing a longs...it's hilarious! Some folks are creative with the lyrics...especially when you really think.those are the lyrics.
The downside is...it's 7$ admission ....then you have to buy your cards ...it can be 50$ to win a 20$ game...
The snacks served go.to our local veteran aide fund.
I tend to think of BINGO for little kids at an elementary school family night or on cruise ships. However it appears to a weekly “thing” in my neighborhood. I may be retired but don’t feel I’m old enough for that yet. What are other neighborhood “things” to do for a younger retirement set?

When we retired we enjoyed the free "concerts in the park" friday evenings, volunteering at the local food pantry, local theater productions, farmer's market & street fairs. We also enjoyed meals out or at home with a few neighbors. Now that we've moved into a 55+ community, there are tons of things to do and we've made many friends.
