Things to do in Clemson area with 5 year old
Apr 8, 2021, 8:30 PM
|
|
I went to school here but I don’t think just taking my daughter to backstreets to pound liquor pitchers and pizza is going to do it. I have no idea what to do with kids in the area but I’m coming up there with my daughter and could use some ideas. Also any recommendations on waterfalls within 45 minutes or so that would be easy and fun for a 5 year old? Other fun stuff around the area? Thanks for any info

Take a 5 year old to a fun park where they will actually have some memorable fun. Anything less is just a waste of your kids time with their parents!!!!

Roller Coaster Road!

It’s University Drive, I think. Right off of airport road, across from the airport. You can see the Clemson planes too. Also, the #### across the road from the baseball field. You can park just past the esso on the right as you head toward Seneca. The hill is fun for kids to run/roll down, and you can see the stadium on one side and the lake on the other. Ice cream at the Hendrix Student Center.

You should write novels
Apr 9, 2021, 7:18 AM

One of the most important components of any good novel is the opening line. Your opening line to this post is excellent. Epic even. I look forward to your future work.
Best Opening Lines of All-Time:
"I went to school here but I don’t think just taking my daughter to backstreets to pound liquor pitchers and pizza is going to do it." -Issaqueena Tiger, Things To Do In Clemson Area With a 5 Year Old (2021)
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."
—Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities (1859)
"Call me Ishmael." —Herman Melville, Moby-Dick (1851)
"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." —George Orwell, 1984 (1949)

Have to agree with FM on this. The ice cream has to be part of the package.

Show her the football stadium, baseball and softball, soccer field. Show her some of the academic buildings to make her say wow. I know you said within 45 minutes so maybe not this trip. But Transylvania County, NC (Brevard) has 30 waterfalls in one
County. Some you can see from the road some are a hike.

mind taking Computer Science, since the place we had to take our programs to get them run was right across the breezeway from there. Still, almost 50 years on, the best milkshakes I have ever tasted.

It was a bigger deal. Serious question what did computer science entail then? Did you use punch cards, tape? Not trying to pick on you I actually think it must be cool and perhaps frightening to see the changes in computers in that span.

Keypunch card decks, and there was no such thing as a
Apr 9, 2021, 11:04 AM

wireless mouse. The corded "trackball" was a bulky thing about the size of a stack of books. To run your program (Fortran IV was the language) you had to take your deck of cards over to the computer center, hand them over to the mainframe operator, and wait awhile to have them run it and hand you the resulting printout. The printout was on large "railed" computer paper, and would be several pages, even for a small program.
I know you, and any young'uns, will laugh at this. The very first assignment I can remember from Computer Science 111 was this:
Program the steps for the computer to count from zero to twenty, in increments of one, printing out each number in a single column.
0
1
2
etc...
That took a card deck of about twenty keypunch cards, if I can remember that far back.
My first run was a dud, because I had programmed the card that said WRITE with the "I" as just a straight vertical line. The keypunch operator took that to mean it was a ONE, and typed WR1TE. Ye olde program crash ensued, just printing out error gibberish. This was a rudimentary exercise, meant to teach you early on that computers will only do EXACTLY what they are told to do (at least back then). An "I" had to have the two lines at the top and bottom to be an "I", not a ONE.

The history lesson. The only computers i used before going to college were a Mac to play Oregon trail on, a Texas instrument for typing class, and a computer with drafting software. When I got to the Air Force Academy I was required to use a computer frequently. Trial by fire and I picked it up pretty well considering but it was a learning curve.
