On June 16, 1884, the first roller coaster in America opens at Coney Island, in Brooklyn, New York. Known as a switchback railway, it was the brainchild of LaMarcus Thompson, traveled approximately six miles per hour and cost a nickel to ride. The new entertainment was an instant success and by the turn of the century there were hundreds of roller coasters around the country.

I remember when in elementary school we went on so many field trips. went to Bunker Hill, the Mayflower , Museum of Science in Boston. Boston is so full of History. For awhile i attended Northeastern U in Boston and loved walking around the town. All those brick buildings built in the 1600's.

Bean town can't even get their hills right. Breed's Hill.

Breeds Hill is actually next to bunker hill. That's where most of the fighting took place

When he visits the lake tahoe area he visits our little town and hangs out at a bar here where everyone leaves him alone.sometimes he'll bring his guitar and sing a couple songs . sat next to me one time and all we talked about was the problems our grown kids have. nice guy.

You need to get a selfie with him there , that would be a nice conversation piece in your living room

actually, that is why he likes to hang here because no one bothers him like that. i didnt approach him.he sat down next to me and said hi and we just started talking like strangers. that is why many celebrities like Paris or NYC ( like John Lennon ) because people pretty much leave them alone.
I have met many famous people in the Casinos in Reno and Lake Tahoe going back since the early 90's. Usually they are playing blackjack at a roped off table and I'd come up and ask permission to play and they would say okay and it would be just me and them. Bette Midler ( very very funny ), Troy Aikeman ( and some of his offensive line ) , BabyFace ( did not know who he was ) . Two San Francisco 49ers but can not remember their names. ( seriously huge human beings )
Away from the tables , usually after a show was Ray Charles at the LT Caesars ( name has since changed ) Tony Bennett and Neil Young at a casino in Sparks, NV. A couple comedians.Steve Wright and Bill Burr. A couple of celebrities I met were real jerks so not going to mention names.

So anyway , I don't need pictures with anyone. Not the star struck type. Paul was down to earth and he did mention that he liked talking to me because i didn't ask any of the "cheesy" questions he usually got.
