4 & 5? Really? Now I'm pissed. How can we not be #1?

I demand a recount.

as an aside, did you see the guy in the flag shirt and hat in one of those pix? The plant in the background? Right next door to the strip mall where I work.

Are the abandoned houses considered in play in Urban Golf, or do you get a free drop if your drive ends up in an open air living room?

that's a good question. it depends on the condition of the house. if you you and your playing partner (or the rules committee member) feel that the house is unsafe to enter, then you get the free drop, no nearer the hole. It's kind of like playing on one of the florida courses where the have 'gator issues. Gotta play it safe, you know.

Oh, and crack houses? You get the drop there as well.

I would just like to point out that Pittston is NOT on the list. Pittston people are very happy people.

How about Shickshinny? I hear they got all kinds of issues over there.

i understand Shickshinny is trying to start a new May Day tradition this year with Shickshinny Steve, the town shrew. If he pokes his head out of his hole, and doesn't see his shadow, that means the world really is going to end in 2012.

Baltimore didn't make the list?

The 10% heroin addiction rate must be salving the misery of Charm City and skewing the numbers.

Wouldn't work. In Shickshinny, they shoot just about everything that moves.
