Jump Town

[Bob Davis]

Looking for info or pictures of a business in Tawas that was probably knock down to build a motel in the early 1980's. They had trampolines, arcade games, putt-putt, and huge yellow slide. Not sure "Jump town" was name of the place.

It was called the Hobby Lot. I spent alot of time there as a kid. I'm sure there are pictures at the library or maybe the Tawas Herald has some old pictures.

yes it was called the Hobby Lot and David Sterling's parents owned it back in the late 70's.
I moved to Tawas when i was just 12 in 1976.
My siblings and I all spent a great part of our summers at the Hobby Lot. I loved that place and I was really sorry that it had shut down.
Some of my fondest memmories of my youth are from times spent at the Hobby Lot
if you do find some pictures let me know, i would like to see them too.
