Slowly, the high school sank into the ground because the ground underneath it wasn't stable enough. When I was there some of the first floor classrooms were 5 or so inches into the ground! Now, the first floor isn't even suitable to be using, so the incoming freshman have to go to the old classical on the commons. All quite the mess haha. Anyways, I'm glad someone enjoyed it and I appreciate the curiosity!<BR/><BR/>SteveSteve DelVecchiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803693770324611631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694675212910858857.post-66715138686777640032008-06-11T20:35:00.000-04:002008-06-11T20:35:00.000-04:00To the first person who commented: You're taking ...To the first person who commented: You're taking the artical far too seriously. It was intended to be humorous, and many thought it was so I decided to post it. I didn't want to discredit anything that Lopardo did, which I didnt. The main point about that section of the story was the frustration Lynn people feel when a team comes and goes. Regardless of what they brought, some of us want the teams to stay here. If you take things on this blog too seriously, theres no way you'll enjoy it and I think Joe, Joe and Zander would agree with me on thatSteve DelVecchiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803693770324611631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694675212910858857.post-91937530695412418362008-06-09T15:20:00.000-04:002008-06-09T15:20:00.000-04:00Great artical - I'm not a native of Lynn nor do I ...Great artical - I'm not a native of Lynn nor do I live there, but I am curious, what do you mean by the hight school sank in 4 years? Was it built on a marsh or something???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694675212910858857.post-14923192610590282682008-06-06T22:24:00.000-04:002008-06-06T22:24:00.000-04:001) You're glazing over what Nick Lopardo did for F...1) You're glazing over what Nick Lopardo did for Fraser field. That was an amazing rebuilding job and, quite frankly, Lopardo gave the city of Lynn a gift by NOT selling out. He could have very well sold that franchise and stayed on as a minority partner in order to satisfy that lease's condition.<BR/><BR/>2) The North Shore Spirit were NOT "semipro" -- they were fully professional. And the players played as much or they were gone. Let Joe tell you about how quickly Derrick DePriest was let go... just for not living up to that franchise's standards for fan interaction.Wooden U.
