It was a fun place that's for sure. I remember going up there to see (more than once) a band "Sonny DeNunzio and Sebastian 78".

I saw him a week before the accident and when we said good bye, little did I know that would be the last time that I would see my best friend. I only wish I would have been there that dreadful night and maybe I could have talked him out of driving. My sister-in-law was there with her boyfriend and she told me she saw him. I always wish that I had the opportunity to sing with him, but, I know he looks down on me and sees me performing. I also know that he rides along with me in my car because I have had some close calls and I look up to the Heavens and say 'thank you, Sonny". He was a great vocalist and musician that was robbed of what he truly deserved. He was accomplished and should have made it.
