Rocky Point will be missed, forever. It was like a little Disneyland for the people of Rhode Island, and we supported it. When youre a kid, heck, a ride is a ride!

In the 1970s, my cousins and I would go and spend the day, we were completely safe. Well, that was when we all looked out for one another, and we didn't have to worry so much about being snatched by some creepy bicycle seat smeller.

A little bit of RI history is gone.

Hey, I'd almost forgotten about Whalom Park!!

I still find it hard to believe that my beloved Rocky Point is gone. When I was a girl I would save my baby sitting money, and go just about every week during Summer.

I remember fondly filling up on fried clams and then getting on the Scrambler ride and then spewing the contents of my gut all over the other riders, then running over to the Logger's Run to wash off in the splash. After I dried in the sun I would load up on fried clams and do it all over again.

Its been many years, but Rocky Point will always live in my heart. Its a shame that such a fun place is now just memories.

These shots are awesome. The lighting is absolutely haunting.

It makes me so sad that a congregation could just walk away from a church as beautiful as this one, that it could just be left to the ages to destroy it at will seems godless to me.

There must be a way to save this piece of history, this monument of religious art of the era. If we continue to demolish everything old we will destroy our history.
