This was suggested by our own, Tom S. and we had been trying to schedule this since August. We now have mutually agreed upon a date, World Smile(y) Day. Herman Hill Park holds a lot of history, like the Easter Riot of 1979, and lots of fondled memories, however we’re going to learn about remediation of groundwater. The Water Center also includes an aquarium and a museum. Afterwards, we may find some nearby place for lunch, maybe not The Nifty Kitchen, Mike’s Steakhouse or Don’s, but what about Kelly’s Family Diner, 2131 S. Broadway?
