Not far from the Belmont-Cragin neighborhood, was an area bordered by Belmont Avenue, Western Avenue, the Chicago River, and Lane Tech High School. These 74 acres of land were known as "Riverview." A colossal amusement park, Riverview Park, billing itself as the "Worlds Largest" was a Chicago landmark from 1904 to 1967.

A trip to Riverview Park was an wonderful experience that most would not soon forget. Through the magic of the digital age, we have persuaded Riverview Park's management to have a special theme day honoring Paul Breitsprecher's 80th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
