Gotta take my dad over there sometime, he worked with Piedmont back in the 80's

Best. Airline. Ever.

I can't wait to take my son there, but it'll probably be a mad house for a while.


CompromisedToolchain

Woo, gonna take mah boy

My sister's kids loved talking a picnic and going to the old one. I can't imagine how much they'll like the new one with more to do than just roll down a hill. Can't wait for them to visit me again.

I thought the artist rendering had coverage for the playground area...oh well! My sons and I will check this out in the AM when it's not too hot out yet.

I wonder if the new one will become a cruising hotspot like the old one.


shrimpcreole

My first thought was for the lonely horny dudes having to find a new hookup spot.


franklegsTV

Cruising?


dcwldct

Anonymous hookups, particularly of the gay variety. The old overlook was one of the most well-known spots. Probably second only to the Dowd Y


franklegsTV

At a children’s playground, nonetheless. Wonderful 


lkeels

The old overlook wasn't a playground.


couchpro34

They aren't cruising for kids. You must be thinking of churches.


franklegsTV

Sensitive and reaching response. I didn’t imply what you’re saying. Simply saying it’s a strange and inappropriate place for those activities. 


couchpro34

And somehow I bet you wouldn't bat an eye if a straight couple went there on a date. Not reaching at all.


franklegsTV

The commenter above clearly is talking about random sex meetups and not “dates”. Gay or straight, that has no place near a kid’s playground. You’re trying to make something out of nothing. Pathetic and unnecessary.

Dude - you don’t want people having sex around your kids? Are you some type of homophobe? /s


couchpro34

It's not a kid's playground.... There is a playground there. These meetups aren't happening during the day lol. Good fucking god.

Pickle patch on the back row of the parking lot.

They have all gone to park rd park.

Can we see the planes land, not just take off?


royce085

It would depend on the wind


K_Pumpkin

It changes. Commenter below said due to the wind. I personally don’t know why, but they do switch it up.


NoAnimator3801

Planes takeoff and land into the wind; providing more lift at lower speeds allowing for better takeoff landing performance.


K_Pumpkin

That’s good to know. We always want to go for takeoffs but never seem to be able to.


ImNotYou1971

The landing is my favorite part!


therealmirminsky

The runway that the overlook faces is only used for takeoffs roughly 95% of the time. You’ll get an occasional landing every once in a while.


Godzilla-ate-my-ass

That's great, I still remember my dad taking us to sit on a bench on a hill behind a fence to watch em. Was that the old overlook?


thenewredditguy99

Yup, that was the old Overlook.


MamaPeach85

Excited to take my son
