Some people have to shop at Wal-Mart

49. You have town tennis courts?

The town I grew up in had tennis courts (like 8 courts) next to city hall, people used to practice against the 15' brick-walled side of the building waiting for their court to free up. About once every 3 months, my brother and I used to go up there in the evening with a ladder and retrieve all the tennis balls off the roof.

It's part of how I made my money in HS because my parents refused to let me work and they refused to give me any money. I used to take the used, mostly-nearly-new, tennis balls and sell them back to people for $1 each. We'd make $300-$400 that way each time.

Point is, if you don't care if the t-balls are new...you can probably scavenge them from the roof of the nearest structure to the town tennis courts.
