Have you ever been to the CYC in Wilkes-Barre? The gyms there are pretty large and varied. The building is much bigger than it looks from the outside.

How old are you? 50? Billy Joel has had top 40 hits since the 70's

We are attending a birthday party at the WB CYC, and looking at the website, it looks like a great place.
From the pictures, it looks like the pool is Olympic size and they have open swim all week. Good to know!

You're lucky you have padding. When I get home they put me in a straight jacket.

Wow, my mom isn't even that old. She is only 35, and I thought that was old. I had to go with my mom to the Imagination Movers concert at the Kirby in Wilkes Barre, which I love. Does that count as a concert?

I hear that some people hidden away in secret areas are even older than 51.......... But you did not hear it from me!

Your mom is........gasp........35.........that would make you about how "old"???? ROFL......better check the T.O.S.

I saw KISS at King's College Gym in the mid seventies.......the 1970's........do they still have concerts there.......do we still have concerts anywhere.......I'm so old and feeble I forget. .

I know its big, but the old Scranton CYC was the closest thing we had to an arena in the area before the Wachovia...er Mohegan Sun arena was built...the gym has upper and lower decks of seating....used to host WWF, circuses, concerts, etc.
