Ahhhh I love this photo! It reminds me of the old playground that I used to play on. Made totally out of metal and way more fun than the plastic wastes that we have today!

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the post. I hate the 'new' plastic ones. They smell. What's childhood without a hot metal slide burn (at least once)?

There is no one official on Fridays at 10am until the R3-30 post appears. People usually just blog in Vish's post until then.
