Anyone else fly kites?

There was a vacant lot less than a block away when we were kids. Used to go up there a lot and fly kites. Then, a couple of young boys were electrocuted to death when their kite got wrapped up in power lines and the then mayor, Ronnie Thompson, (my 2nd cousin) made it illegal to fly kites in the city limits.

It didn't matter. The vacant lot was sold off and dentist offices and a bank were built there. Lots of good memories on that dirt lot, though.
