We used to swim in the upper lagoon in Papago Park, part of the hatchery. One of the trees hung over the water and was great for jumping from. The zoo was built by the Maytag family (how weird is that?) You could rent motorcycles under 250cc without a license at the gas station on the west side of Apache about two blocks east of College. Seems like it was $1.35/hr. University was 8th St. Rick, there was also a Fox Theater next to Pennys on Washington in Phoenix (my parents took us to Pennys once a year for clothes, usually the end of August). Korricks department store was across Washington from the Fox (the theater, not Pam Urschel, Louie). I was with my mom and grandmother in Korricks when Kennedy was shot. When we got too much rain, they'd release water down the Salt. A big deal! We found a pond next to the river, down at the end of Priest, after one of the floods, and it was full of fish! Phyllis, this thread is taking on the dimensions of The Luckiest Guy thread -- proof that we all have great memories of growing up in that particular time in Tempe.
