I happened upon this message board tonite and find myself almost in tears as I see so many others who also have fond memories of Idora Park. There must be thousands of us who were touched by that old place. Right now I'm sitting looking at a print on my wall of the old swimming pool (later kiddie land) where my grandmother worked as a teenager. She met my grandfather at Idora Park. He was part of the crew that built the Wildcat. I now live in Columbus so I wasn't home for the demolition of what was left of the park. I'm sure if I was there I would've been in tears. The last time I was near the park it looked so gloomy that my heart just hurt. So many times we went there for my father's company picnics or our school choir's picnic. It seems like yesterday, but it was 20 years ago! I'm so glad that other people share the memories that I do.
