RE: OT - You Know You are From Toledo If...
Yes there was an airport on Telegraph Rd., long before the Drive-In, which was before the North Town Mall. You know you're from Toledo when you remember the "Colony Hut". That was the place for DeVil. HS. and Start, the motor heads went to the Lockwood Hut. Not that they're weren't some hot cars at the Colony.

I still can taste those White Burgers if I let my mind wander, still the best ever.

Who can forget "Toppers Potato Chips", geez those were the best, until Cain's came along. How about Salsibury Quarry (sp) did a lot of Scuba Diving out there.

How about the world's largest pool, we really had 2 of them, Bowman Pool at the west "Y", and if you were lucky enough to be a Boy Scout, and swim the frigid waters of that pool, it never warmed up, since it was in constant shade. That pool was huge.

Going to the Friday night dances at the West Y, and the "opens" at Ottawa Park, man you could feel the sexual tension pouring out of everyone.

Oh to be 16 again, huh. Of course up at Devil's Lake, going down to Perry's to get some ice cream, another place I can smell in my mind. And yes there was an airport at Franklin Park, and after it stopped, all the people who would go there on the weekends to fly their Radio Controlled airplanes. And for year the Clyde Beatty Circus would set up their "Big Tent", back in the days of real Lion Taming.

Too many memories to try to list at one time, anyone else remember my memories, I remember a lot of yours that have been listed.
