Example Sentences
- "The first clue that something once existed deep in the woods here is a towering, rusted water tank shrouded by the trees that have grown up around it. Other evidence includes concrete foundations, a tall stone chimney and several dilapidated, rotted-wood cabins. The decaying structures are the last vestiges of a long-abandoned summer youth camp built in the 1930s for disadvantaged children. Walking among the remains, it’s not hard to envision a noisy and lively camp filled with city kids and counselors enjoying campfires, sing-alongs, arts and crafts, swimming and hiking. Now it’s ghostly quiet and a bit eerie."
- "The spacious Pao Arts Center in Chinatown has become a focal point of this effort to broaden entertainment options. Monday nights, the second-floor of the center is transformed into a hub of activity — with karaoke performances, traditional Chinese dancing, and Ping-Pong. The center also holds monthly arts and crafts events, where mental health clinicians discuss the signs of compulsive gambling and encourage people to seek help."
