3) Take Ruth Drive west towards the river about 5 blocks and turn north (right) onto Ralston Avenue.
4) Take Ralston about 2 blocks north to 74th Street which is clearly marked. You can only turn left here, west, toward the river. 74th Street will turn into the White River Yacht Club parking lot.
5) Call me on my cell phone if you get lost 508-6634.
What is History Saturday? It is an open forum to share your memories of anything from the greater Broad Ripple area so they can be preserved. It can be about Glendale, Rocky Ripple, Ravenswood, etc. Maybe you have a picture of a streetscape, or a business that is long gone, or of people you remember. Stories shared at the June meeting included walking past Hoster-Roberts Ford on Broad Ripple Avenue, having "the best breakfast in Broad Ripple" at the Alley Cat before heading to the barber, and buying war bond stamps at School 80 so you could get lunch at the church across the street. Send me your email address and I will add you to the email reminder list. historysaturday@broadripplehistory.com
