the Loeb's corner at Summer/ White Sta. looks a whole lot different these days!

I love me some Jack Pirtles. I think its better than Gus's. Hate that there isnt a JP's anywhere even close to me.

Add Malibu Grand Prix to that list. Mall of Memphis was pretty cool back in the day.

This was a pretty nice water park back in the day. So disappointing we don't have things like this around here now.
