It had cob webs, so we know it is as old as you!!

Yes, that is what one of my children said about the slide at East Lake Park. Driving by my old stomping grounds, at least while I was in Birmingham, I saw the slide. It looked like one of the two slides I used to slide down. It had the same steps (closed back steps) and it was all metal. I felt for sure it was the same slide from 30 years ago. Or at least I wanted it to be the same slide. But just in case it was, I had my kids go slide down it while i took pictures. That way, the slide will have been slid down by two generations.
