Lincoln’s Kids Get Lost

By: Mr. Wilson on July 6, 2009
As an occasional customer, I'm intrigued by Matt Olberding's news that Lost in Fun is expanding (14th & Yankee Hill). I don't know what business is like most days, but on the few occasions I have been in there it has been packed to the gills. Maybe while they're remodeling they can find a way to mask the dull roar of the fans that keep the inflatable features upright. I have to admit, though, I don't fully understand the allure of an indoor playground outside of cold weather season. I know folks who go there semi-regularly even during the summer. Why? I would much rather my kid spend his time at Antelope Park or Holmes Lake, or even at the neighborhood elementary school playground for that matter.

I can sort of see the allure, but to be honest, I’ve never just taken my kids there to play. However, we’ve hosted a birthday party there, and my kids have been to 2-3 more there just in the last couple of months.

I could see it being a respite from oppressive heat and humidity, but we’ve really only had a week or two of that so far this year.

It’s great to see a local business do well, however. Especially, as you and Cindy Lange-Kubick have pointed out, IN THIS ECONOMY.

I’ll let CL-K have IN THIS ECONOMY. I personally prefer IN THESE ECONOMIC TIMES™. 😊

My bad. I knew yours was slighty different, but I had the right idea.
