aw. the towers fell :o(, in all these pictures i can just see the little kids running around and the rides turning.
i agree that six flags is a waste, they should bring back the old amusement parks. i'm a teenager and i never got to experience these, except one, in SC, there was a amusement park called the Pavilion, that had been there for like a hundred years, it was the most amazing thing ever, i loved it. but last year it was sold so some rich developer could put up more ocean-front condos, that no one will ever buy (there are already a bunch of condos that are for sale), there was a petition and everything, but all the town saw was 'big money'. it was truly sad, it makes me cry just thinking about it.
the history in these pictures is truly striking
If you look at the ceiling, it appears that some of the tiles have rust around them, and at some point, there most likely was an operating table just below the light fixture...I'm sure the stain on the floor had something to do either with the rust as above or the mounting of the OR table to the floor. The little thing hanging down from the track looks to be an IV bag holder.
Well, I gotta tell you, I've used tubs just like this at PT here where I work, you don't have to sit in the tubs necessarily, I was getting therapy for my leg and I just sat on a table beside the machine with my leg in it, and honestagawd, it looked exactly like this machine.
When I was a youngster, I used to take jazz baton lessons, and the building that the studio was in was very old and had creepy locked rooms. Sitting in the back of the entryway into the building, was an iron lung. My mom was the one who told me what the machine was and what it was used for. As I look back on it, I could never understand where that huge machine came from and why it was just shoved into the entry hallway of that old building.
