... i went to Artemus Ward Elementry - right across the street of my grandparent's house.

I got to watch all of Captain Kangaroo in the morning and still be in class at the right time. I got home for lunch and got to see Captain Penny all the way through, and got to see all of Barnaby and all of Captain Penny. I had a marvelous childhood.

I finally got it that the park was not coming back when the roller coaster finally burned in the late sixties. BUT, if you kept going down the road, you nded up in one of the real jewels in the "Emerald Necklace" that is the Cleveland Metro Parks System.

I'd love to move back and had my snow adverse almost convinced whe we started looking at the Terminal Towers conversion apartment. Now we're waiting until Mango Jebus is out of the picture.

I'm old. Very old.
