Don't blaspheme River Ridge like that. Played little league and pee wee for the Pirates in the late 80s/early 90s. Haven't been back in forever to see what the place looks like these days.

there was also a skate board park, but I think it may have been on West Napoleon.

I remember when Vets was only 2 lanes (on both sides of the neutral ground).

Good times.

Forgot all about Crash Landing. Went to a Christmas party there once upon a time and got a promotional copy of Styx' Cornerstone from the one and only Captain Humble. Also loved me some Fireside Inn pizza...anyone remember the midget magician that performed there at night?
