Wow...GM still uses those sign frames (or else, I have never seen a new GM dealership). Also, is that you announcing the date??

[retrochad]

@mattsplace85 Yes, that was me, I was about 11 yrs. old.

I remember Fisher's Big Wheel, we used to have one in Chardon a longtime ago until they went out of business in 1993, plus my aunt and cousin used to live in Streetsboro and I also miss Geauga Lake and Sea World.
