Definitely! I love this pic of Dan backing up to 1st position ... I said Dan instead of Elwood because Elwood never used reverse on Phil's Beach haha. I think Elwood used reverse only once in the movie ... ? Setting up the back-flip is the only time I can think of. I guess that was part of the joke with the parking. How to parallel park without using reverse Elwood is a busy guy, he doesn't have time for reverse (Unless he needs to do a back-flip). * Edit - Oops just remembered, Elwood uses reverse in the mall just before the "new Oldsmobiles" line.

- They're still doing fundraisers and stuff for Phil's Beach. I've never been in an "Indoor Bike Relay" ... at a brewery - www.facebook.com/philsbeach/The scariest part of the slide back in the day ... was the climb up!

- The mission continues ... ^ Article seems to be behind a paywall ? There's been two slides in the lake, which is called Bangs Lake, and you can see them both in previous posts in this thread and you can actually see both in the movie. The more modern slide you see featured more than the straight-up tall one. But from what I understand when the renovations are complete and the Beach is re-opened next summer, they will not be putting the slides back in the water. Historic footage of the slide(s) in use preserved on film in The Blues Brothers and also some Super-8 movies here and there on daTube . Could be a great gathering for "Blumo's on the Beach 2020" !

Here's a couple of the above shots without the Photobucket overlay (sorry I can't host-and-post).
