Substantial Sand Moved

We finally got the right piece of equipment (a bobcat on tracks) out to the beach courts today and instead of pushing and dumping surface sand around, it's going to seem like about a couple tankers of new sand were added to the courts. After 10 years of the wind blowing the sand up against the east wall it will now be more level.

On average, it was 14 to 18 inches deep on the east side of the courts, and 4 to 8 inches on the west side.

Solid Bar

I went to grab something to eat during the doubles tourney Saturday and was stopped by some kids at the driving entrance/exit of River City and was surprised to find out the upstairs was being used for a CD Release Party. They asked me for a $5 gate entry fee, but I was headed the other way, which led me to believe they were suggesting that I should fork over $5 to escape being subjected to it.

Nevertheless I wanted to see what the upstairs looked like now, as its been vacant for a couple years, and it looks pretty solid. It looks better than when the last two bars were in there (Sneaky Pete's and Ky-Odies) ...better than ever actually...

When I left there was 150 to 200 people there and it looked like the party was done well. I heard someone say that they didn't realize River City was so big. I should post some pictures back when there were thousands of people there in its hey dey, circa 1995, and parking was forced to Edgewater Avenue.

If anyone is interested in renting the upstairs let me know... I have the contact info. Just don't trash the place, or the beach volleyball courts. And if anyone wants to have a party on a Friday or Saturday at the beach courts contact me (Mike-260-402-3999).

River City Destroyers Moving

The River City Destroyers have moved out of the bottom level of the River City Complex. They are moving to 3929 Mobile near Glenbrook. The professional and amateur boxing organization offers a number of programs, including beneficial programs for youth.

They moved their last equipment out Saturday.

It seems like every year since I started Fair Play Volleyball in 1997 there has been something different in the downstairs. Pembleton Electronics is presumably the next entity to move in.

I will provide a link on the Fair Play sites to the fight club. There was mutual respect for each others operations, so I'll be glad to support and link with them and other sports organizations like them.
