Pete Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Lot's of Mopars and other fun stuff. A couple of boring bits, but worth watching all the way through. Be sure to start it at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COon-l5PM3Q&t=215s Edited December 13, 2022 by Pete 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi_volt Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 I used to live about 3-4 blocks away from Playland at the Beach, on 47th avenue just east of The Great Highway. I don't remember much of the stuff that was shown in that video, as I was there in the mid 1960s and not the '40s, but I do remember going to the fun house when I was about 7 years old and doing the indoor slide. I also remember Laffing Sal, an animatronic that greeted folks when they came in. In 1972 a developer, Jeremy Ets-Hokin, bought some of that land, tore down the park and put in a couple of high-rise condominium buildings, which as I understand, failed at first. The rest he turned into a big parking lot. Too bad Playland at the Beach couldn't hang on for a few more years. I think it could have been revived as a major attraction in the 1980s-1990s.

DakotaFrank Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 I think 48, judging from the cars and trucks. No earlier than 47. Very cool look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
