Second of all, I just got done goofing off in Boulder, and tomorrow I'm going to goof off in Fort Collins, and Sunday, I'm going to goof off at Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, and Monday.... |

And third of all, I'm going to be very tired when I'm done goofing off, so I'll need to goof off some more and take a nap |

Z: You're lucky the cops didn't have a trigger finger. Funny how they filled in the bricks. For us Eastwoodians the Colonial bank was way too easy to climb...the air conditioner shroud provided easy access to climb to the first level. (ask the captain/owner of the Clinton River boat tours or LS who lived on Eastwood and Redmond) It was so easy it was kind of a hangout. Once in a while the neighbor across the parking lot or even Mr. or Mrs. Bass might yell out something like "What you guys doing there? You can get hurt."
Another TRIVIA question for the group (no fair peeking at the ad Z): The ad for Famous pizza has a partial ad on top for the world's largest Chevrolet dealer: What was the name of the dealer and what was the name of the movie theater across the street? (This might be too easy for some)
JC: Wasn't there an Edwards shoe store that specialized in kids shoes on Kelly? It had a raised platform and small chairs for the kids? Or was that Mullers?
Coincidentally, that was my dentist, Dr. Shipko, located next to the music shop.
Eastburn: Now that's a great story regarding the sombrero. You are lucky to be around. I remember passing that motel and my folks many times and we thought that guy with the donkey was pretty neat? I didn't get the undertone of that sign till later. I always thought that guy with the donkey should always be in the statement...."You're an eastsider if you know where the guy with the donkey is located." (Coincidentally, that hotel was right down the street from my cousins house on Hamburg near 8 Mi.) |

KR, that was Mueller's. I had/have flat feet and used to go there for 'cookies' in my shoes. I remember sitting on that platform to get fitted. There was also a Junior Boot Shop up there, too, but we never went there. |

I am guessing they are from the Church from when they put the altar in so the Priest could face the people. |

Freeway barrier? No, I promise it's from something more significant. |

I jumped the security fence when they were tearing the grand old lady down and ran back to my car as the security guard was yelling at me |

Since the bricks were so holey, I assumed they were from SJ. Nice memorabilia! |
