T&C

Not Clapton.

Looking around a bit more he did own a record label... albeit a small one. He was part of a group that wasn't into hot rods and the beach scene.

Tim Russert's books are a very good read... I would recommend them to anyone, Bills fan or not.

Some really good video here along with the story... been checking this out for awhile... oddly, just mentioned him in the book thread but Bradbury got me into the planet many many years ago. https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2021/02/17/perseverance--how-nasa-rover-s-mars-mission-is-different

I used to love Glen Park when I was a pee wee... then was big enough to go to Crystal Beach and Fantasy Island so I think the trips there got cut off.

I've read a lot of books in my life so its hard to name a favorite. Always liked Bradbury's short stories compiled into book form... Golden Apples of the Sun, etc. The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test is a pretty good read, as well as On The Road. Anything by Hunter Thompson or Tolkien.

West coast music in the 60's... interesting that his face gave you that... but, yes. He was not at the time of the photo but may have been later in life.

Not an athlete Not either of them, but he was in a part of the entertainment business. Not him.

Sometimes a wild guess hits home... just got lucky. My posts were merged by the system they have here. Who is this guy?

A: We Are Posters

I just KNEW that something nautical would come out of a simple Crystal Beach thread lmao.

Lets kick a man when he's down for the count... for good. Funny place this subforum is...

Just after the civil war... Teddy and the roughriders? Face looks kind of thin in the pic though.

Was he ever president of the USA?

There was some talk of it in 4 kidd 4's thread but I didn't want to spam his Aud thread. I'm guessing that a bunch here have a lot of memories of the place as do I. The Cyclone was ahead of my time and it looks a little brutal lol. Nice to see some Bills and Sabres gear in this one... I watched it around an hour ago and my eyes did get moist, these days are no longer with us and man o man was it ever exciting. The first 3 words of the actual video say it all... enjoy:

This forum is a trip.

I thought he was getting better, beating it, but I guess not. My thing with him and this type of media is that although you might not agree with what they are saying or their viewpoints it makes you think about what you really do believe or feel.

Did you bathe at the beach?

Good deal. Its been so long since I last went I can't remember any of it lol... I just know I was there.

I never went to a Braves game but did make it to 3 Sabres games and we lost every damn time lol. Last one was hosting the Blackhawks in 1977. Saw a few concerts there too, last one was Rush in either 76 or 77... still have the stub, think it was 76 come to think of it. Crystal Beach was purely magical to me... we used to go once a year but we drove, never took the boat. The Peace bridge was always cool to go over and my Dad liked to drive anyways. First time I was tall enough to ride the Comet was like later on in life getting laid for the first time... one hell of a thrill. Laff in the Dark or The Carpet ride, can't remember which, introduced me to ladies in underwear... no tbacks or bikini's back then, just the "big old ugly cotton jobs" as was referenced in a song. I checked out this video quite awhile back, maybe in June... its kind of long and some of the footage isn't so good so just skip through it a bit at a time I would suggest. :57 mark is pretty funny, don't think anything like that would happen these days. Thanks to the OP for the pics... some of them are shown in this vid. Enjoy.

Very sad story, its been all over the news... this happened like 2 miles away. His foundation does a lot of good, a lot of people may not be aware of this. RIP http://www.jacksoninaction83.org/

In a case like yours, how much would your land/home go up in value? Or a buyout from a developer?

If I'm reading this right, you want to stay in the home you currently reside in. Me, I would have sold the strip and also be glad for the build up around me. Either way, with everything that Has gone on around here it has turned my property/house into a very unique place as far as proximity to seemingly everything now within walking distance. I really want to get on a few acres in the mountains, N.C, PA, somewhere like that. I'd love to move back to WNY but the taxes are pretty stupid.

Sun Ra?
