Things I remember from the 80's..

-Chucky Cheese..the ultimate for an 80's child..pizza..big scary rodents and the best friggin video games a 9 year old could stick a token into..the first place I played Congo Bongo and Donkey Kong..

-AM 106..80's music...pure cheese..but man..iwas it fun..

- The Zoo...this is where my fear of Crocodiles started..

-Rollerland...spent more time here then any other place in the 80's..and got hurt here more times then any other place

-Stampede Wrestling...so many great wrestlers started here..and it was only $6.00 a ticket..

-driving up the hill to Westgate and seeing the lights of the city below at night

-the excitment of going to Calaway park for the first time and realizing there was NO way I was going on that Rollercoaster!

so many things come to mind that I can't put em all..Buckshot..the fireworks during the Stampede..the Olympics..the midway during the Stampede..the mountainview in the morning..Toy's R us opening across the street from me when I lived in WhiteHorn..and lottsa others...

I feel very lucky to have grown up in this city..
is there anyway I can take all us all back there?
