Re: Don Aronow Memorial
If I am not mistaken OSO spent part of it's humble beginnings there as well. If you think that because certain illegal activities took place there and Arronow may or may not have participated in them, that in and of itself that is grounds for no memorial plaque for all the GOOD that took place, then you my friend are an eternal PESSIMIST!

Re: Don Aronow Memorial
When you turn on to 188th St. Ft. Apache is gone and there is a parking building and condo buildings. Magnum is still there, but it looks like Hi-Lift Marina is using their parking lot to store some of their inventory. There is a median with palm trees, a storage rental building, an elementary school down at the end towards where Tempest was. It's all new and beautiful, but sad in a way. TNT was the last of the hold-outs, but even they are gone to Spinnaker now. The buildings where Craig Barrie and Scott Smith worked for years are going down if not already. The site where Bobby Saccenti designed and built his Apaches...gone. There is nothing to mark or commemorate the great achievements made on this street for so many decades. I found it depressing and I'm not that sentimental of a guy!

Someone here did start to try and do something about a memorial, but I don't remember who it was, or what happened with it.
