Fred Meyer and Five Points Mall, 1977

Used to drive the ladies crazy! honest!

Viewmont High School, Bountiful Jr. High, City Park , and “The Bubble,” 1977

Aerial view of Centerville May1983. The area is between Main Street and the frontage road, and about 500 North and about 1500 North. The white area in the upper left-hand corner is water which has flooded the frontage road and land just north of Chase Lane and east of I-15, which today is the city park/ball fields

 

Did you ever shop at 'The Co-oop'?

1958 on the top. Today on the bottom. 1958 wins hands down in my book. Come on, Lagoon!

What off broadway shows or concerts did you see at this building?

South Davis Jr High school 400 North Bountiful, Utah, which was changed to Bountiful Jr High, when the new South Davis Jr High school was built on 2600 South.

The Lagoon fun house as it appeared in 1957. Five stories high! View is looking northeast.

Old Lagoon postcard showing a view looking northwest on the midway. 1954.

Anyone have memories at this place as a teenager?

Speaking of Casa Melinda, what was your favorite menu item?

Anyone else remember their dad bringing home a bag full of Dee’s burgers on pay day? More memorable yet is a Friday night at Dee’s following a BHS and VHS football or basketball game.

Fun Days gone bye

 

Bird’s-eye view of Slim Olson’s. Late 70s. Notice gas prices!

A great shot of Viewmont HS circa 1968 shared by my friend Larry Fry. You can see JC Penny's, their auto center and Centerville Jr High in the back ground.

Just outside the south Davis area stood a building that most of us used quite often. Do you remember the springs?

Who remembers The Heidelberg? It's my understanding it is now a private home. Did anyone eat there after a high school dance when it was a restaurant?  

Then and now….Bountiful Community Church in the early 1960s, and now. SE corner of 150 North and 400 East. The tall bell tower is gone!

 

People don’t believe, The Stones, The Doors, The Monkees, The Who, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix & Beach Boys all played Lagoon!

August 30,1968

Hendrix -- LIVE

Lagoon Patio Gardens

In the 60s, Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys were so enamored with the Wasatch Front, they recorded a song about their visits here titled “Salt Lake City”. Included in the lyrics is a reference to Utah’s fun spot: Lagoon!
