Street Talk for August 10, 2009

Question of the week: With the county fair season here, what is your favorite ride or part of the fair?

“I’m gonna have to say the demolition derby. I think it should be a sport. Let out some aggression, crash a car and it’s legal. It’s not that expensive. Just spend $250 on a car, fix it up to look nice and then crash it.”

— Keith Kirby, Newburgh

“I’d have to say that thing that goes round and round and up and down. Kind of like a spider that spins around really fast.”

— Liam Fish, student, Washington, D.C.

“I enjoy looking at the animals. I grew up in Wisconsin, so the sheep and cows makes me remember home.”

— Ed Fish, CEO of epals. com, a children’s learning software company, Washington, D.C.

“Now that I’m older, I’ve kind of lost interest in the fair. It’s also kind of expensive, especially right now. We used to do the rides and look at the different stations though.”

— Alana Shaw, housewife, Davenport Center

“I used to ride the Gravitron till I puked. I liked it because you would get stuck to the wall when the floor dropped. I think that’s what I liked the best.”

— Alexis Provenzano, sales associate, Worcester

“It’s been so long since I’ve been on a ride at the fair, but I’d say that I liked the Merry Mixer. I like going around on the rides, but not the up and down.”

— Donna Smith, Banking, Virginia
