tower WPTL-FM. What fun it was hanging out on the campus up to the age
of 14. Is there anyone else out
there that remembers the college on
State Street?
Just thought I'd pass on some memories....
Here is another RI memory:
Back in my URI days, we used to hitch down to Sally's Pizza in Peacedale.
We ordered hot oven grinders. To this day I don't how they were made.
The Italian food there was great. At that time (mid 60's) there ere very
few eating places near Kingston. As students, campus food was not the
best so Sally's Pizza was the spot to eat.
Sally
was a character, right out of the Sopranos, someone you didn't want to
mess with. Does anyone remember the place?"

"Hi Ray, I will say you sure put a lot of
time and effort into your Website. it is the best one I have seen from this
state. My days go way back with Rocky Point Amusement Park, in Warwick. What a
nice place to relax and have a full day of fun. Going to Rocky Point and just
walking down the fairway was a thrill, to see all the smiling faces on people.
Then the rides were moderately priced, and every one enjoyed them. Then the
Dance Hall, (The Paladium), what a nice place to go dancing and have fun. The
clamcakes and chowder, was the best . I ran a boat in the bay, and that dock,
even though it was rickety,and in poor shape, I pulled up my boat many times
,just to get the Clam cakes and chowder, I fished for bass all around Rocky
Point, and believe me, I got my share of the good sized bass. I also remember
the night I got stranded on the rock, just off the land there. The tide came
around in back of me, and all except about three feet of the rock was showing
with me on it. That was a long fishing experience. After a few years, we had
our Grandchildren from Florida visit us, and we spent a lot of time at Rocky
Point, with the rides, and fun, there was no going home early. This group from
Ca. played the outside show, and it was called (The Parachute Express). well,
the music was soft to the ears, and smooth, Two years in a row, we attended
those shows, not knowing they were playing. The Florida grand children was
thrilled. Then, they closed the Rocky Point Park, what a shame, and even
today, it's a vacant spot in Warwick. Your Website couldn't of picked a better
song for the Rocky Point Website. (The Strawberry Blonde) I walked three miles
to see that in the Palace Theater in Washington Park back in the early 1940's,
that was a great movie too, and that song, really hits bottom with me. I play
it all the time on your website. Living in Warwick, most of my childhood, I
had plenty of excitement with the Hillsgrove Roller skating rink, Oakland
beach, amusements, and rocky Point. It was a great place, and it is solely
missed by all Rhode Islanders. Ray, Thanks for the space."
