Walking into the Town of Rivesville, Bob Tinnell sees memories. Memories of Christmas celebrations in the 1980s when he celebrated the Feast of the Seven Fishes with his Italian immigrant grandparents. Bob’s goal now is to bring his memories to the present. He has done this in the actual house of his grandparents, which is now decorated to simulate a 1983 Christmas.
“Nobody grew up with better people than me. Nobody grew up with better kids than me. We had a great life. Everybody went out and we had a vibrant culture and night life, and it was so much fun,” Bob said. “It was an incredible place to grow up, and it’s nice to bring it back.”
