General Suburban Updates and Rumours

[Chris]

I personally feel that Sportsworld Drive itself should be changed to Maple Grove Road. Its a major road thats such a short stub.

Yes, I think so too.  I'm not sure why we memorialize the old Sportsworld park.  Why not just call the area "Eat N Putt"...it lasted longer than Pioneer Sportsworld?  In fact when we were kids I think we probably would say we were going out by the Eat N Putt or Pioneer Tower when going to that area...maybe also referred to the area as "Old King"?  

 I'd be happy with a practical name for the LRT station like Maplegrove or "Kitchener 401" or even just calling it "Pioneer Tower Station"...it will be over a century old by the time this gets built.

Brings back memories of riding in a burlap sack down a slide.

Also memories of not building the highway 8 bypass to access 401 W because the owners of the Two-Lane and the gas stations were afraid they'd go out of business if all traffic could avoid King St.
