I remember the Cooper Theatre well. Back in 1961/62 when I was 8 years old, some buddies and I peddled our bikes down Cedar Lake Road to the Cooper site. It was in pre-construction, grading phase, and the site was left with a huge, and I mean huge hole filled with water. Well for a month or so that site became our swimming hole. I guess it was more fun than Cedar Lake. Anyway, as I grew older and went to movies at the Cooper, I would brag and say I swam right here under the Cooper Theatre. I don’t think it got me any points with my dates, but I thought it was pretty cool! Greg or Bobby, I hope you read this. Jeff
