READERS' POLL RUNNER-UP: Discovery Zone, 6238 E. Broadway
A REAL SCREAM: Parents often joke about how their children, on Christmas morning, seem more interested in the boxes than the toys. This is because mass-marketed toys are constrained, mandated with clearly-defined limits; a box, however, possesses infinite possibilities. This is precisely the reason why government-mandated graffiti and skateboard areas will invariably fail. In a year when the readers voted for the most detestable corporate entity on the planet as their chosen playground for tomorrow's world leaders, we just thought we'd make ourselves feel better by pretending it doesn't matter whether our kids have a "safe" place to play--they'll make their own, even if their adults don't provide them with one.
