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.
Still better than Harahan

How about the original go cart track on the service road?
Yes, Slick track. They would put water on the track in that one turn.

there will never ever never be a Chinese restaurant as good as this... Our Family basically had our own table...We went so often that Davis and Virginia would always sit down and eat dinner with us whenever we ate there.

there was also a skate board park, but I think it may have been on West Napoleon.
I only remember the one off W. Esplanade near Severn

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?
