I am old so bear with me... Grad Dr. E.P. Scarlett 1980

"The Pits" Motocross/BMX area where Diamond Cove is now and taking my bike with ape hanger handle bars banana seat and sissy bar there.

Gopher hunting right out the door from the house(S) Southwood then in Bonavista . There were no such things as acreage's then it was all farmers fields to Fishcreek.

Fun Boat Arcade in the Bonavista Mall and having my friend (who was the smallest of us) reach up and release the lever and play fooseball for free.

The Old Gnome Shop beside the old Corral then in Midnapore.

The Trophy Room Pub at the Tradewinds.

Parties at Fish Creek (22x bridge) (end of elbow) Glenmore park(end of 90th ave.)

Milk Chutes with money in them

JR. Houstons

Downtown Christmas decorations

Norms Ski Hut

Diving off the balconies of the Inn at Bonavista. And snorkelling and finding all the money and silverware tossed by patrons. (there was a time when you could see the bottom of the lake clear as day.)

Smoking while getting groceries.

17th Ave. Drive inn.

The mural on the wall at the old Calgary International Airport.

Great thread brings back a whole lot of memories
