I worked at the gunshot late 70 s early 80 s. Wayne, or Jay, George Bohn, Bonnie, other street people would come down every day for 1 lb. of 1f black powder for the cannon. Every single day for years.

I spent most of 9 years working at The City. Wayne was the funniest actor there. If he was acting, i aint sure he was. Very funny and talented man.
