Past it was Dewey Rd which used to go all the way to Cooper Foster Park Rd before the highway was built.Dennis Thompsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-51115186273339339212020-11-20T11:12:26.806-05:002020-11-20T11:12:26.806-05:00We lived there briefly when in between houses. My ...We lived there briefly when in between houses. My Dad built his first house at 6420 Oberlin Rd in 1960. Back then it was just scattered houses on Oberlin Rd and fields to the west. We would walk through the fields to explore the east quarries. The family grew rapidly and Dad moved us to Rock Creek Run around 1966 while he planned to build a new house. It was a nice ranch house with full basement The build never happened and the family moved to a large home on North Main St in Amherst. I didn't move with them as I got married at the time.<br /><br />I built my own bedroom in the basement of the Rock Creek Run house. One night I awoke to a scene from Hell! A loud screeching noise startled me and the room was filled with hot steam. I stepped into hot water on the floor! The heating system had burst something.<br /><br />Interestingly, on one of the last times Dad visited from Florida before he passed we were talking about the places the family had lived. Dad had forgotten about Rock Creek Run! He eventually did build another house on Balsam Drive where he lived until he retired to Florida.Dennis Thompsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-44702254094497841352020-11-20T11:01:41.151-05:002020-11-20T11:01:41.151-05:00The resemblance to Dorothy Malone is striking; per...The resemblance to Dorothy Malone is striking; perhaps based on a publicity photo?<br />I remember going past the Rock Creek Run sign as a child, and picturing a bunch of kids running alongside a creek.<br />Ah, a child's imagination... -Alan D Hopewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588625423455924651noreply@blogger.com
