This was one of the only places in Stoneham that it was legal to fire off Estees model rockets (even with a permit, which you had to have).. (That never stopped us from launching them at the soccer field near our house on MacArthur Rd, though).

I remember when I got Dad a model airplane and we (I) crashed it there way too soon.

I also remember a field trip in 2nd grade where Mrs. Welch (the "other" 2nd grade teacher, not my Mrs. Yapp) made me eat my baloney sandwitch even though it had been sitting in the sun and was utterly disgusting.

Somewhere near here I think the Wonderbread (or was it Sunbeam? no, I think it was Wonderbread) factory was - because we went there on another field trip and it's somehow linked in my mind to this entrance from the main road.

In 2005, for the first time in probably like 26 years, I went to a drive-in. Actually, we went. Laurie took me there for father's day, with Emily and Alicia (it was their first time at a drive-in movie theater). We saw Batman Returns (yawn) and .. wait for it .. Star Wars: Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith. We saw it on the screen to the right (the west-most one).

(Actually, Batman Returns could have been good - we have no idea, we spent the entire time listening to Emily and Alicia scream.. They slept through Star Wars (as did Laurie)).

Quote of the day (from Emily): Look at that screeeeeen!

Laurie and I went here and had an absolutely incredible time. Laurie got SO wasted. I have proof of that on videotape. Ask Laurie about the foot-washing spigot in the bathroom (which she went back to videotape for me). (Hint: It's not a foot-washing spigot, just the confused rambling of a overjoyed overdrunk newlywed wife).

We're on their mailing list, which taunts us about specials often (despite the fact that it's a 16 hour flight to get there).
