That's pretty cool!
Back in a time where the neighbors would just say dont worry about it they are not shooting across the lake just in it. That noise is the sound of freedom.Quote:

Nailed it. For a forth place trophy on the silver one I'm wondering what the 1st place one looked like.Quote:

Jeez. Last I knew that old building with the torpedo was a boxing gym, but that was probably 15+ years ago.
You got me all excited. I thought there was a secret trap range at Sloan's or something.
Nah, just an informal target range for some of the neighborhood yutes.Quote:

The other brother immediately punched the first in the gut and stole it from him. They were running around screaming and punching each other and my dad was told to take the two brats and not come back.
This was about 1968 or so and it sounds like my brothers (I'm the good son). I work up in Edgewater about every six weeks or so and one day I decided to look to see if I could find where the range was. I figured out it must have been close to that adobe looking building.
What a shame, burned powder smells so much better than the marijuana smoke I smell constantly in that area. I think there are like 5 pot shops in Edgewater itself.
Well I guess some of you did know.
I remember watching them. Thank you for sharing the nice memory.
