I have a number of pictures from the summer of 1975 to share. I had a red 1972 Plymouth Duster with a 318 and 4 speed.

I have a picture of my uncle Dave at the Algiers in the 80s, my dad would go see him a few times a week at the Algiers, him and Dave were best friends. I have many memories of me, my brother and Daves son Stephen at the playground in front of the big screen or at the video games inside the concession booth. Free popcorn and arcade games are some of my best memories of those days. Uncle Dave was the projectionist from the late 70s until its closing in 1984 and Im sure many people will remember him.
