In 1966 I was 17-Lakeside Amusement Park- was closed and not operationg- but everything was still there and intact-It was a winter night—dusk-snowing-I went over the fence-into the old park-everything was still there- the bumper cars stood frozen-the huge laughing lady in the chicken wire cage-still stood there- grinning her hideos macabre grin-silent in the snow-all the little rides were still there! the carnival art work on the wood fencing that winded thru the park was still there- an art styles of the early 1900’s and 40’s and 50’s-it was so eerily beautiful-the grand merry go round-was there -I gave it a shove and got on it -it slightly moved a bit-the old roller coaster loomed in the now dark sky like a giant skeleton-all so surreal—Im just glad I was gutsy and went over that fence to see my beloved Lakeside park-before they leveled it-It sure is a great memory-im glad i have-1966……
I danced at colonial theater in 1955 in a ballet dance recital-is now a lutheran church-any one remember the ice cream palor adjacent to the theater dayton ohio?
