Re: Lockwood Castle

Sad to hear that. I suppose that change is inevitable, but the Lockwood Castle was a great place. Never did the ice cream monster creations myself, but did take the kids there to do that.

It was a good lunch & dinner place too.

Re: Lockwood Castle

I remember that they had a 24 scoop ice cream creation (built for groups), but if one person could eat it all .. it was FREE!

Yikes!

Re: Lockwood Castle

Just another icon that has disappeared.

Have spent some time in Jersey City this year and got curious about the fate of Roosevelt Stadium. It's now a gated housing community. I did an internet check and found a number of pictures of the place before they demolished it in the mid-80s. Amazing how that place deteriorated during the time it was abandoned--mid-70s to mid-80s.
