The site had been a stone quarry in the 1920's-30's. In the 1940's there was a softball diamond on part of the land that had not been quarried, and the former quarry hole was partially filled with water. We neighborhood boys used to wander through the quarried sections, throwing rocks into the water to see who could make the biggest splash. Our parents warned us about getting to close to the edge, and falling into the water. I beleive some drownings did occur over the years. The quarry hole was eventually filled since the City used the site as the City Dump. The site of the Howard Johnson had been Johnson's drive-in Root Beer Stand for many years. All three of my older brothers worked there for many summers.Ed Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425856923643133023noreply@blogger.com
