It wasn't a huge hill but sometimes my father would coast down to see how 
far he could get. I spurred him on. It was a rural area with good 
visibility so it wasn't dangerous.

You did not try that in the city unless you were suicidal. It was a steep 
drop from the escarpment to the rest of the city lying along the river.

It was falling apart when I was there. The campus itself starts at the 
brick building and continues up the hill before flattening out. If you had 
classes in West Hall you got your cardio in climbing up to the other 
buildings. It was a joy in the winter.
