BTW, you know all the sand pits that are everywhere around the Platte? My grandpa (mom's side) used to run a crane digging some of those out.

I was pretty young, but remember going there with parents/grandparents.
My slim memory of it though....wasnt there a dining room, but also a dinner theater room as well for entertainment?

I was only eight when we left Kansas City. Places I have fond memories of - Roeland Park swimming pool, Fairway Pharmacy for penny candy, Smaks for fast food. My parents used to take me to the airport to watch the planes take off and land. Games at Kauffmann.

Iconic places of my youth? Any willing vagina. At least in my teens anyway.

Allen's Drive In, on Shawnee Mission Parkway (?). There used to be route that we kids would drive between the Allen's and Winsteads on the Plaza. I want to think that there was a third drive in on the route, but that was just too long ago.
Our backyard in Shawnee. We had a lake that spanned the backyard of 3 houses. Being in HS and having a lake, resulted in many a happy summer. Then there was the Scout. Actually is wasn't so much about the Scout, but the parking lot where we used to watch the submarine races in the river. Got to third base there. Lake of the Ozarks. Parents bought the cabin and lot back in 1962 and spent many a loooong weekend there. Spent the honeymoon at the old cabin. Renovated the newer cabin and now live here full time.
