Johnny Pydek’s home ditch. Rich Gucwa, Joe Melone, Frank Addesso, Rob Nedza…etc. Occasional action matches there. Two sided house…32? on each side…..really a brickyard house similar to Gateway.

Rich Gucwa is my Dad. I’m Rich Jr. Great memories running around that place at 5 years old selling paper airplanes with flyers that I snagged from the front counter. Sophie would never get pissed at me either. She was so sweet.

I remember you. Your dad was usually you with him. Say hello to him from me.

I used to hang out there with Larry, and Rick Elliott, wilbur wu (yellow corvette with red ribbon type stripes on it) I knew a guy named Rob Nedza. I believe he had a 71 Challenger convertible, plum crazy purple with a white top, or was it a Trans Am with a super duty 455 big block, 4 speed, red ? I also knew Angelo Tosti, Eugene Anzalone. One guy we used to call Tony Espanioli. We used to hang out at the Holiday bowl, just the usual drinking, and cruising around. Tim Fosch was another guy, and I had a big crush on Jodi Parisi, she never knew I existed 🙂 I also remember a cute little blonde girl, she wore glasses. In fact I went back there after I got out of the Army, but everything changed, and everybody scattered. I guess I was trying to find something good after I was wounded while serving in the U.S.Army

Did Rob Nedza used to own a ’71 Dodge Challenger convertible, plum crazy purple with a white top? Or was it a Pontiac Trans Am, red with a super duty 455 with a 4 speed ?
