Probably my old neighborhood in the suburbs in Palmdale, CA. I lived there when I was just a little kid. We had a really big house! Better than the one I'm living in now. The cost of living was way cheaper than it is now or than it is here in LA. But all the kids were nice it the neighborhood we would go on long bike rides around the neighborhood, play with our motorized jeeps, play sports, go to each other's b-day parties and all that fun stuff. Also I went to a great school with great teachers. Plus we had all the great stores next to us. But in the mid/late 90's we had to move back to LA due to the long commute for my dad's job

. Boy those were the days

I know what you mean, I've been in the same city all my life but, i still walk to the "old neighbourhood" sometimes, and check out all the changes!(Which makes me feel a little sad)

The sad thing was Friday when I was driving to Virginia, I passed a roller coaster on the back of a flatbed on the Turnpike that came from Geauga Lake. It was heading east somewhere. Kings Dominion maybe...

I know what you mean, many of the Crystal Beach rides still exist in other parks! (Such as the big Coaster)

Wouldnt it be nice if you could buy a car for THIS price today? ( Bear in mind, the average wage was about $2 A DAY at the time )

The Chandler Motor co lasted from 1913 until 1929 when it was absorbed by Hupp (Huppmobile)

In the late 1820s, the town of Dunnville was established as the western part of the Welland canal system, here, the Grand River was dammed to afford a water feeder to the Welland Canal (At that time the canal was too shallow to take its water directly from Lake Erie as it does now) this dam and feeder canal quickly became a prime location for water powered mills. What you see here, is the remains of the second canal feeder dam ( the first canal dam was made of wood, dirt and stones) and the last water powered mill on the site (At one time there were six of them side by side ), about ten years ago, both the dam and mill were taken down...theres a condo where the mill was. My mother remembers driving on the rickety old wooden bridge that sat on the dam, apparently it was one SCARY ride!

Personally, I couldnt STAND the stuff, but the girl next door loved it, the smell used to gross me out!!
