#Philadelphia’s Fairmont Park
LOST MARBLES
International competitors get their Good Friday off to a rolling start at the
annual British and World Marbles Championship, held every year at the Greyhound
pub in Thinsley Green, England. PARK IT
HERE When it comes to leafy retreats, few cities can top Philadelphia’s
Fairmont Park, whose core covers some 4,200 acres-about five times the size of New York’s Central Park. FORE! If you‘ve ever wondered what all those retirees down in Florida are up to, the state’s nearly 1,500 gold courses highest in the U.S.-should give you a clue. PLAYING POSSUM One of the most unusual souvenirs to bring home from New Zealand is clothing woven with possum fur, said to be warmer and lighter than sheep’s wool and cashmere. HIGH-TECH DOUGH The new $100 U.S. bill issued last October is the latest effort to thwart counterfeiting crooks such as those in Peru, now the biggest source of fake U.S. currency. TO THE POINT One of the shortest geographic terms you’ll find anywhere is the Swedish name for river or stream, which is the one-letter word “A” (pronounced O).
