Further define what the layer "Entertainment" means

[chrisbeaman]

We've talked of offering "entertainment" sources to people who are using Frontier. What is defined as "entertainment"? What are some real, tangible examples of "entertainment" here in Huntsville?

[spearna]

In the abstract, I see entertainment as mostly something fun where you passively observe in something. (where recreation is is something fun you actively participate)

So things that fall into this: movie theaters, play houses, orchestra, sporting events, etc

Bowling alleys, arcades, miniature golf, laser tag, trampoline places, bouncy castles, haunted houses, shooting ranges, pool/billiards/halls, darts,

[chrisbeaman]

Maybe these things are Recreation, not Entertainment.

We might also want to distinguish Events from Entertainment/Recreation - things on a calendar schedule, such as Swing Dancing and Beer Tastings

By @spearna definition, with a slight tweaking of how "active" and "passive" to think of "active" as in "sporty" for recreation and "passive" as in not-so-sporty for "entertainment" each activity @chrisbeaman listed...

Entertainment: Haunted Houses, Arcades, minature golf, laser tag, bouncy castles (not seeing these on ESPN, maybe "Obscure Sports Quarterly," but not ESPN).

Recreation: Bowling, Shooting range, pool/billiards, darts (there are official international sporting organizations built around each of these).

Either/Both: Trampoline places. Recreation for adults (who have like, sports teams that play here) Entertainment for kids (see bouncy houses).

Would describing the buckets differently help?

• I want to break a sweat
• I want to interact with others
• I want to observe something new
• ...move
• ...listen
• ...taste

Et cetera

I am a big fan of all forms of user-filtering responses Frointer will provide.

Like I said, the first time someone uses this, if it doesn't show them something they didn't know about beforehand, they may never use it again.
