I can’t seem to find much information on this, nor can I find when it was torn down, although I swore I saw it somewhere. I’ll update if/when I find it.

    This is the old shuffleboard site in Bradley Park’s upper site just across the street from Bradley University.

    Not a bad guess…

  3. Vonster Says:

    Could that be the trailer pad that would eventually be home to the great and powerful Pottstown Pundit? ;-)

  4. PeoriaIllinoisan Says:

    Another excellent guess. I might consider moving to a trailer park in Pottstown if it looked this nice.

    The foundation of the log cabin that used to be in Glen Oak Park?

  6. Josh Harris Says:

    Gazza is right. I was driving through Glen Oak this morning and saw the rock that has the plaque on it in the picture. So I jumped out of the truck and sure enough, it was it.
