Thank you so much for sharing this story. I work at a store in the Stone Mill Plaza and a truck driver asked me if there used to be a pool near the store. I'm young and not originally from the area, so I didn't know, but I told him I'd do some research. This was a fantastic post with lots of great information and images. Thanks and I cannot wait to share this with him.
ReplyDeleteLiving close by, would have loved to see some info on the Kit Carson Ranch, gift shopes and stage entertainment, built up in the stone quarry, on the left side of the Park area? With a asphalt base and gutter, provided ice skating in the winter.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but unable to find any info on the roller skating rink, with boxing and the race track beside it, now plowed under the Manor Care Health Facility!
Could always go over to Columbia Avenue and Abbyville Road and go Ice Skating on there pond! Just don't hear about these places, so close together! Rick
