Runaround Sue's Sock Hop

I know many of you, including myself, were not around in the 50's, but some of us remember watching Henry Winkler as the Fonz on Happy Days and/or seeing John Travolta and Olivia Newton John in Grease. In Second Life, you can go to a place that recreates that rockin' era when you visit Runaround Sue's Sock Hop.

Rurnaround Sue's dance floor is always jumpin

Rurnaround Sue has a full calendar of events

The checkerboard dance floor at Runaround Sue's always seems to be jumping with guys and gals in 50's clothes and Elvis and other rock n' roll tunes playing. There is a full calendar displayed that lists events, too, and photos of famous people from that era line the walks.

Lots of familiar 50's faces line the walks of Runaround Sue's

But the sim is not only for dancing. It is home to a Jetdolls shop and other stores selling all types of 50's accessories, memorabilia, and clothing. There are also several ladies and men's hairstyles that you can don (or try the free demos first).

Elsewhere on Ruanaround Sue's is a 7 Seas Fishing area, a beautiful lighthouse, and a lover's lane. There are restful benchs to sit on, and the small town atmosphere makes for a pleasant outing any time of day to get you in that summer mood.
