Yeah, I used to go to the lot as a little kid. Come Friday evening what i assume were teenagers would move in and it was a party atmosphere..I remember a pizza truck delivering pizzas and plenty of "beverage" consumption with people lying on rooftops and hoods of vehicles and music blasting...I was time for my dad and I to go then haha..

That old lot was a nice vantage point, but near the end there was quite a bit of illegal activities taking place in it. I remember when they put up the gate to it, and you never knew going out there if the gate would be open or closed that day. I have some pictures to post showing more of that lot. I liked the big mound of dirt that allowed you to look over most obstacles.

Memories!! I loved that old lot where you were actually "allowed" to watch planes. Makes me sad in a way, that we have come to where we are as far as CLE goes...
