| - "The flag is up!" Who doesn't like to spend an afternoon at the local thoroughbred track, sucking down a few cocktails, wagering on the ponies, and rubbing elbows with every possible faction of society, from the homeless to the 1%'ers? Turf Paradise is over 50 years old, and shows it in a lot of ways, but that's part of the charm too. Plenty of free parking, dirt-cheap admission, and features alcohol and gambling, 2 of the most important ingredients to having a good time, in Brak's view at least. Spend the extra couple of bucks and upgrade to the club house, which features a nice bar with friendly and attentive barkeeps, generous cocktails at reasonable prices, and lots of TVs so that you can bet at tracks all over the place and lose money that much faster (or hopefully win that much faster). Give it a go, I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed an afternoon at the races when trying it for the first time, and they usually come back for more.
