Cool pix's.
The view from the top of the monument is breath taking.
The picture of Lonz's sure takes me back. I remember doing the 5K foot race there several times and being drunk on their wine by 10:00 A.M. after the race.
Back in the day, a trip to the Bay wasn't complete w/o a trip to Lonz's/Middle Bass. I remember crawling on the ferry over one time when there was 3 bridal parties on board
One of the brides to be was wearing a T shirt w/life savers sewn all over the front of it. A buck a piece to chew them off. I had a pocket full of ones from the night before. I handed the whole wad to the maid of honor and told her to stop me when it was gone
Best part was I was the first one to that shirt so I had my pick of areas to target

A lot of good times at PIB and Middle Bass. I still remember the day the Lonz porch collapsed and a lot of people got hurt/killed. That was the beginning of the end.
One, among many favorite PIB stories: Closed down the Round House (Ben Dover and the Screamers were playing) one night and jumped in one of the van taxis that used to cirlce the park to go out to the "late" night bars on the south side of the island. There was aleady 5 or 6 drunk tourists on board as we head out Catawba Ave when a police car pulls over the cab. They get the cabbie's license/registration and then get him out for a sobriety test(they were tipped off he had been drinking). So there the cabbie is "walking" the line along side the road as a bunch of drunk tourist and myself are cheering him on with encouragement. Well, he doesn't pass and off the cabbie goes to the PIB police station.......leaving us to walk the rest of the way out to the SkyWay.
Just another night on PIB....... (Don't get me started on Danger Brothers/B-Barrel stories)

BTW, I went by the winery the day it collapsed and planned on stopping. Was there a couple wks later, before they closed it for good. They had the area roped off where the floor gave way.
We heard all the stories of the pending law suits and knew then that it was over.
