  • how nice. i grew up on oakridge, and always have to see that shit.
  • I lived just one mile north of the quarry (1940-1951). It was a working rock quarry and we used to hunt pigeons that flew over the golf course and down into the quarry. In 1965 I visited the site, walked up close to it's edge. An employee of the landfill came out in fear I was going to jump!
