A Whale of a Memory

Gagknee's post about his visit to Funtown USA prompted me to look up the first amusement park I visited as a child, Whalom Park. My whimsical childhood memories of going on kiddie rides turned depressing when I learned Whalom has been closed since the end of the 2000 season and is all but landfill fodder. These pictures show what remains of her former glory. Speculation is that the park will be turned into a residential development. A plot straight out of an episode of Scooby Doo.

I remember the commercials they had on TV. I went there a few times too.
