Being replaced by Lil Rudy’s, a chain college bar. Think there are 3 others. Miss Klondike

We all mis Klondike, at least all of us that were at App when Klondike was open. Every spring I reminisce about skipping class, getting pitchers and watching a baseball game from the outside bar seats. It was the absolute best.

Really wish baseball was still there (but understand the flooding). D1 SBC baseball at the entry of campus would be wild.

I wish it was still there also, it was a great location even if it did flood occasionally. Talk about being convenient to campus and easy to just stop by and watch a game, it was the best and so glad I got to enjoy it during my time there.

I played on that field, it was great with people at Klondike and around the outfield. But there was a sewer grate in the OF, and objectively the current setup for that area is better. Rivers street was moved for construction of HCC and that intersection is basically left field. Hardin St. was 2 lanes at the time. No way it could still be 2 lanes. Was a huge mess as all of that was being reconfigured, but it turned out well. The field after that one was a huge mistake.

Daylighting that creek is much better for the water quality. I am looking forward to the stream being day lighted farther upstream as well. I think it looks great.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.
