Looking back on these memories made me extremely happy, yet it brought tears to my eyes. I can remember when Idora Park was the place to go. As a kid, my friends and I couldn't wait until we had a chance to go. I am sadden to think that the young people of Youngstown will not have the chance to experience such a treasure.
I am now grown and residing in Atlanta, GA, where the culture and history are magnificent. And I have travelled the world, seen countries were the beauty is so breath taking,it makes your spirit soar. But I have yet come across anything that makes me feel as elated as Idora Park did and still does if it's name is mention.
Growing up in Youngstown in the 70's and early 80's was truly a Norman Rockwell's painting in reality and Idora Park help make that happen.
