Yes to all except 6,7,12, 13, and14.

NTFDAY,

In 1964-1967, we had an absolutely perfect parking spot on the East side of Springfield....just East of where the 65 bypass is now and about where Sunshine St. is....it was a location at the intersection of two paved roads and had access to both roads. The spot was about 1/8 mile off each of the paved roads so you could see anyone approaching at night (if you were paying attention). The spot was at a high point on the dirt road so, if your car was low on battery, you could roll start it (sometimes the radio was on too long). The turnoff to the dirt road was obscured by brush on both entrances....a perfect place. Now, it's probably houses or a junk food store..... and the ladies that I took to the parking spot are over 60 now......

There is a soon to be demolished (I think) middle school in that area now.
I'll have to ask some of the guys I know that are natives if they know exactly where you're talking about. I moved here in "73.

NTFDAY,
the location was further East from the highway 65 location.....I couldnt find it now because of the new construction....used to be, Glendale High School was way out and we hunted rabbits just South of there.

Lot of apartments on the west side of 65 and gated communities on the east side. If you haven't been back in awhile there are a lot of things you wouldn't recognize.
