What a pretty park this once was. Once again, Burt Hill, Kosar, Rittleman redesigned this park to be a cement, nearly treeless, shadeless mess. We have placed monuments helter-skelter.
ReplyDeleteThe county should restore this park to the greenspace it was designed to be. Move the WWII monument to the very back to create some symetry with the park.
Bring back the PARK HOTEL
ReplyDeleteyeah for the crack heads
ReplyDeleteThe Diamond looks tidy. I like it better that way.
ReplyDeleteit was a hippie mecca back in the day, but a very popular hang out that drew large numbers of people into town.the park hotel served beer to anyone,we drank there in high school.yes those were the days.
ReplyDeleteLove these old photos! Mr Boyer looks like he tto might have been to the Park Hotel.
ReplyDeleteI remember the park being nice in the 50's and early 60's.
