Beyer s Byways: Fairmount Park, the jewel of Riverside
By John R. Beyer
For the Victorville Daily Press
John Steinbeck, that great American author, once wrote, “You can’t go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory.”
When I first read that in his non-fiction book, “Travels with Charley: In Search of America,” I didn’t completely comprehend what he meant.
Actually, it was more like, “What, the heck is this guy thinking? You can’t go home? Home no longer exists? Memories of mothballs? And by the way, what is a mothball?”
Decades later, Steinbeck’s words made sense. I was born and raised in Riverside before relocating to the High Desert. Yes, I visited Riverside quite often when my parents were alive, but after they were gone, the visits pretty much stopped.
