Going to Forestville Mall.

Does anyone remember a park that was in the ghetto (probably gentrified now) that had an acutal plane and tank we could climb on? My dad took us there when we were kids. I can't even imagine the safety issues involved with that one...

Yeah sorry, but not "the ghetto" at all. Although the middle class black neighborhood of Brookland is about a half mile to the south. Also near Children's hospital. The airplane is still there but the area's been closed to the public for decades.

I would sit inside the Cabin John plane as long as my Mom would let me. My Dad was in a foreign prison then - I would stick my head out of the plane and see her crying - so I would pop my head back in and let her be alone until she was done crying.

I went to a Wonderama show when it was held at some place in MD - can't remember the venue.

I streaked in the mid '70's when I was in high school. (Twice)

tons of streakers when I was at Holy Cross in Kensington

No way! Fotini got married? I was hoping she was waiting for me all these years. I even baked her a loaf of bread and gave it to her at the end of the year. (Huge crush on Fotini) Is she still beautiful or did the Greek curse hit?
