I believe Joe s house was not burned down as two tiny cottages still stood across from Alexander Park on Bidwell on the lane. Do we have an address by chance? And I for one do not care for the art. its childish and they are all the same. Ugly.

And ever since roller skating rinks went bust, I’ve been in mourning. What an enormously fun thing to do with friends or family every Friday and Saturday night.

Locals have always loved the outdoors here. I wonder how law enforcement took to swim suits getting smaller and smaller with the arrival of bikinis. There is always a group of people who cant except change.
