Joe Zuffoletto Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 I'm reading Al Mooney's biography, The Al Mooney Story, and learned that he was born in a house at 1223 South Lincoln Street in Denver. The house still stands, and here's the Google Street View image of it. I'm going to go check it out myself tomorrow; it's only about 10 minutes from my house. 7 Quote
Raptor05121 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Neato. Do the current tenants know the history? Quote
Jeff_S Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Ah, the Wash Park area...brings back many happy memories. I lived in Denver for many years, and my last house was at 13th and Hudson. My brother still lives at 12th and Grape, so we were Mayfair denizens. Back then I wouldn't have known Al Mooney from Adam! Quote

Has anyone else ever seen the Alexander Eagle Rock that is on display in one of the terminals at DIA as a tribute to Al? I always seek it out when passing through if I have time. Jim I've seen it many times, and I'll be passing under it tomorrow morning! I'll take a picture and post. 1 Quote
Marauder Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 A Dutch Colonial! I lived in one for a few years. Interesting that they migrated that far west. Always thought they were mostly on the east side of the country. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

He built trestles and blasted tunnels in the Rockies, and Al and his brother Art worked railroad construction in their younger years as well. 1 Quote
Bravoman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 Would it qualify for national historical landmark status? 1 Quote

The American in me thinks we should leave the owners alone. The last thing I want to see is the government getting in their shorts about something that I don't think any of them know anything about. 9 hours ago, Hank said: Just what I was thinking!

N33GG Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 Very cool! Although, it does resemble the Amityville Horror home a bit! Quote
Jeff_S Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 Speaking of Dutch Colonials, here's the house I lived at in Wakefield Massachusetts for five years in the late 90's. I planted that weeping cherry in the front garden 18 years ago...I'm surprised it hasn't grown much since then. Of course, I don't know when Google took this pic. 1 Quote
aviatoreb Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 Dutch Colonials are forever ruined for me because of this film: https://us.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=iry&hsimp=yhs-fullyhosted_011&type=mcy_popjar_16_07_ssg06¶m1=yhsbeacon¶m2=f%3D4%26b%3DChrome%26cc%3DUS%26p%3Dmcyahoo%26cd%3D2XzuyEtN2Y1L1Qzu0DzztByEyB0F0C0FtGzz0CtCyDtGyD0AtA0BtG0B0CyBzztG0F0DtB0BzyzyyDyCtAyCyCtDtN1L1G1B1V1N2Y1L1Qzu2S0C0EtAyE0Azz0A0FtGzzyByCzytGyEtCyEyDtG0AtD0FtCtGtC0FyE0BtBtDtCtBzz0C0F0E2QtN1Q2Zzu0StCyDtDzytN1L2XzutAtFyDtFtCyDtFtCtN1L1CzutN1B2Z1V1T1S1Nzu%26cr%3D1750936364%26a%3Dmcy_popjar_16_07_ssg06&p=amity+ville+horror Quote

I read the same biography of Al Mooney about 3 or 4 months ago. Quote

aviatoreb Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Is that how you spell it? And singular not plural. I thought it was with a z. Whoopszedaisy. Quote

I was contemplating the correct spelling. Didn't put to much effort into being exact. Leave that to the engineer types Quote
