Sports and Activities :
Lynching
Official Executions
Stoning
Torturing
Russian Roulette (Slade ?)
Baseball ? There is one (a baseball) an important prop in a canned scene, but is there a sign anywhere else of The American 'National Game' ? The Luteces pantomime play it, but they are ghosts. A Baseball Diamond and Stands MIGHT have made a good 'Arena Battle' site (Samurai on all the bases ? popcorn venders on a skyline.).
Servitude
Puppetry
Surfing
Dancing
Rapture seems a more detailed complete society and has Sports aplenty.

1910. A moving picture theater (it was all the rage then). 
What better propaganda method could Comstock and the Founders have ??? A little stolen sound technology to bring it early into the Age of Talkies ... Of course you need a constant flow of new material, or a coercive mandate making people sit through the same thing over and over (and Over). Columbia being such a tiny place, and even with that mandate and regime involvement, likely would still only have a spew of new 'amateur hour' content. 
We should have seen even the Founders with fake smiles emerging from the "Words of the Prophet" propaganda sessions - afraid to look dismayed or bored, lest they be accused of being 'Unbelievers". Shouldn't Levine have had THAT in his contrived Faux-America ?

Drinking :
A REAL Fancy Saloon Bar
Fundamentalist Christian types are usually against alcohol consumption.
But then Levine's weird Jesus-less Cult Faux-religion doesnt make much sense for so many reasons.

Good Time Club Theater - Same Problem As In Rapture : 
How many customers who want new acts ( no TV or Radio, and silent films start competing ? ) Columbias limited population ( and some large chunk of Columbia's 'Untermenschen' have to go to another establishment - If its even allowed to them ... A Shantytown Theater ?? SEGERGATION - Remember ? )
How many performers of any quality can possibly be available in Columbia ( and with enough material to continually offer NEW stuff ? - the eternal problem in that business ). Much of any material stolen from 'The Sodom Below' would hnot play well in Reactionary Columbia.
DID Such places eventually just show the proscribed "wholesome" Prophet's Propaganda --- Crowds FORCED to go to them ( because of the mediocrity and droning repetition ), and with forced smiles and faked applause - THAT would have been an imaginative scene for the game.

Real Era Beach. BTW - 12,000 feet is cold and more intense sunlight.
