[If you look behind and to the left of the left column, you can see a circle of raised earth. This is where a huge World War I cannon used to set. In the early days of World War II the cannon was donated in a scrape metal drive, and was melted down. After World War II, this part of Memorial Park was turned into what it is today, a baseball field.]
