Anyone hear how the fire started? I think they said horrible electrical wiring. A few people there think it was arson.

of course this is a older video, but if you venture threw the wood nows, there are paths that have been stomped down. Follow the signs and you'll see a lot. Mostly old artifacts from the fire, but you have to see the memorial.

Are the Trees growing on the spot

Such a Sad thing to have to happen.

My father played there with the smothers brothers several times in late 1976! I still have a beverly hills cocktail napkin with "Johnny Benches" autograph on it!

i remember my parents going there to see Redd Foxx not long before that fire.

Unsettling. This area definitely needs to never be developed, and have a memorial placed on it.

[jimmyhd1969]

It should never be forgotten what happened here in 1977.

I couldn't agree more.

No, unfortunately I was unable to be there. I went earlier on in the day, at around noon, because I knew I couldn't be there that evening for the service.

The owners of this site really have no morals at all.

I went here back in 2000 and we saw all kinds of crap that could trip or cut someone. We also saw a huge sunken area that must have been a basement or storage room. It looked dangerous. I could not but help feeling that a young kid might fall into it and be hurt

It seems that the owners still 30+ years on still have no concern over public safety. The decent thing to do is clear the area up and turn it into a memorial park.

@ThoughtTraveler- Do you live in the Cincinnati area?

[Trackside1234]

@ThoughtTraveler If its so dangerous then keep your ass off their property.

I know that this may be hard for your 56 IQ to comprehend but even if you for example have a pool in your backyard which is fenced in - and then some kid sneaks in and drowns.....guess what Einstein? YES you CAN be sued.

I'll bet your backyard looks much like the wreckage on this video.

You may now go back to your mundane life.

Did you attend the memorial service on Monday evening?
