Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Cragmor was not all about healing and health, it was also a social setting for those with "means" which meant it had to have enough entertainment to keep the patients busy and paying to stay, whether healthy or not. There were multiple activities and events for the patients, staff and their friends or families. A short list of entertainment available is included below.
Bridge
Cribbage
Blackjack
Motoring
Annual Cragmor Rodeo Celebration
Championship Septum Cup Folding Contest
Library
Cinema - Silent Movies
Social Events
Diving into bath cots (NAKED!!)
Journalism
Clock Golf Green
Patients were welcome to spend their free time doing what they like, the list above is not complete but a good overall idea. Some would choose to enter the city for the day to shop or get out of Cragmor's walls. Transportation was available either by horse, walking or by car. The car fees were $1.00 per person for both there and back, being wealthy this was a popular option.
