The Spillway in the 50s, PC Cobb stadium where our high school track meets were held.
Penney's in Casa View and Memorial Auditorium where The Beatles performed in 1964
Love Field, Jim Smith's Casa Linda Mobil, The Republic Bank building and Lucas B&B.

Peavy and Millmar - home base for Bryan Adams High School
Big Town Bowlanes - Exterior and Interior
Other local lanes included Jupiter Bowl and Jack and Jill Lanes
The Dairy Queen on Ferguson at Lakeland attracted hundreds of BA students on the weekends, each spending about a nickel (or less.)

This is a non-profit website. But our growing audience (currently thousands of hits per month) has increased the cost of paying for our server space dramatically. I feel like a bit of a jerk to ask, but if anyone wishes to help defray the server cost you can now donate to our site via PayPal, right here.
Any income above expenses will go to lowering the cost of “CougarPalooza 2016 - 50 Years and Still Roarin’" - our 50th Reunion which will hopefully be free to all ’66 BA grads.
