Over the years there have been several 'named' incarnations; yet the feeling, the excitement and the anticipation of things to come; remained the same over the years. This is just a wonderful little slice of 'park real estate' and I would love to see it used to its full extent once again.<br />Those are wonderful pictures and I appreciate today's post.Thuferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692445357659425688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-8129263850613831792011-06-22T07:30:05.872-07:002011-06-22T07:30:05.872-07:00So glad to see the Dans featured!
