I've been trying to get an overview of NCR- Old River Park, and they don't seem to be able to deliver.:mad:

NCR(national cash register) had been part of Dayton, Oh, since 1884, and just recently left us and moved to the Atlanta area.....to save money:rolleyes::mad: ( the greedy bastuds )

Old River park was a place, a gigantic park, built for it's employees and friends. In the 40s, 50s and 60s, almost everyone had a family member working there. I was either at the hunormous double pool or canoeing, or cooking out with the family, at one of their many pavillions, every day, during the summer.

The city just reopened it, sans Pool, after NCR left.... and thousands descended upon it, to celebrate, once more.

Here's a few circa 60s pics.....

Dang, Sally!!! That park looks like fun. What a great place to spend the summer as a kid. Of course, I'm a water baby at heart and love being in the water.;)
