Trgedy at Idora

I was very saddened to hear what happened to the old ballroom.And after seeing the shape the rest of the park was in made me ill.I never heard if they found out what caused the fire, as I live out of state now and it's hard to keep in touch.I assume it was arson and I hope the person or persons responsible are happy about what they did.Did they stop and think for one minute what they were doing?Did they ever realize how many people met,danced,sang,laughed,cried and fell in love there? Maybe they would have thought twice. Did they think for a few kicks they could destroy all of that? I have news for them. Idora Park is a part of our past,a part of our heritage,and a part of our lives.Like a favorite pet you spent a thousand sunny afternoons with, so is Idora.I remember as a kid my Dad taking me and my brothers and sisters there every year.We could'nt even sleep the night before. I can still see the smile on my Dad's face as we waived to him from the bumpercars. That can never be destroyed.
