ORIGINAL: dreadnaut

Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley, 2000. County of Orange decided that they could make more revenue from a golf course.

Triangle off Linda Vista Dr. in San Marcos CA is now a strip mall.

Fallbrook R/C flyers (my field) will close in a couple of months because of the widening and realignment of a state highway.

City of Carlsbad CA passed new ordinace banning all R/C activity except for one slope site. (We are fighting it).
The Mile Square Park one really [:@]. That area was used for more than just R/C. They also held many youth fuctions that related to A/C, rockets, and science. Now all of those kids are back on the streets instead of doing something productive, just so a bunch of "Great High Mucky Mucks" didn't have to wait as long for a tee time (there was already two courses in the park.)
