I remember Geneva-on-the-Lake, OhioSandusky,Home of the Lyman Boat Works and also the
great amusement park Cedar Point was a real hoot in summer.
All those young adults did in summer on a saturday night was
drive round and round the block in downtown Sandusky.
Really boring.Reminds one of the Movie - Tommy Boy - {1995 }
and Cow tipping.
It was a resort town that was busy in the summer. In the 60s there was a riot every year I believe around the 4th of July.
I learned that some of my āfriendsā planned a robbery during the riot. They knew of a bar that stored the cash under a loose floorboard and when the riot started the owner would shut down the bar and leave.
My friends planned to break in, grab the cash box and hide it underneath their vehicle. When the riots ended they would just drive away in the line of traffic.
I joined the Air Force. When I returned home on leave I asked one of the guys what happened. He said there was no riot that year. They tried everything they could think of but couldnāt get anything going.
