I thought a watering hole was a bar or saloon and was derived from a place where wild animals would go to drink. Never though of Atsion Lake as a "watering hole".

I think the person who wrote it does not quite understand that. They may be young.

we used to drive from Mayfair (Philly) to swim there once a week in 1966. i remember the song "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" playing on the AM radio.

You must have moved over here not long after that. You graduated with my brother. I have a photo of you from his yearbook :) I showed him your current photo and he had no idea who you were.

I grew up in west philly. Moved here in 73. I remember trips there. Was it not closer to 206. The beach and a little snack shack was there. I may be confusing it with some other place

Yes, the swimming beach was up at 206 in the SE corner. I remember swimming there in 1966.
