My grandfather ran some of the rides and my grandmother sold concessions, so I basically had the run of the place, from roller coaster to haunted house to train to arcade to french fry stand to bumper cars to magic show to everything.<br /><br />It was great fun. The park no longer exists though. It closed about a decade ago, though it died out long before that. It was a flea market for a while then, side by side with the remnants of the rides. Kind of like a sad otherworldly place by then. Last year, someone at the flea market fell and hurt themselves. They sued the owners and because of that the flea market closed for good. Now it is just an amusement park graveyard. But back in my childhood, it was a blast indeed.Kevyn Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840497589713234794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161637385294744810.post-60597307326281813852012-08-04T23:50:11.271-04:002012-08-04T23:50:11.271-04:00Kevyn, please do tell about growing up in an amuse...Kevyn, please do tell about growing up in an amusement park.
