Ah yes, Sambo's. Used to be one next to the bowling alley near ASU. They had a four-egg breakfast that was perfect for a college student who had been up all night, and needed a big breakfast before going to bed.

Legend city was next to Phoenix municipal stadium, along the first base side. I remember going to games in the late 70’s early 80’s and chasing after foul balls that would go over the fence in legend city, just out of reach.

Saw a few concerts at Big Surf. Never went into the water though.

Your welcome. In the right side of the picture, there was a large drainage that ran through the parking lot. There where frogs and turtles in it. As a kid, that was better to mess around in, than the baseball games.

Here is a cool site about Chris town mall,

Yes indeed. They will soon be "Old Farts" too.

Legend City story:
The manager of Legend City was a shooting buddy of mine. (Met him long after Legend City had shut down.) He died four or five years ago.
According to him, Legend City had a big problem with feral cats in the grasslands around the lake where they had the riverboat ride. He would go out at night with a Ruger Single Six and a flashlight and hunt cats. Good times!

I do have some fond memories of what was alleged to be the only bar in Sierra Vista in 1967.
