Love your site keep up the good work!Carla Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730246858791497546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-57134624920624122612009-07-01T22:49:50.811-07:002009-07-01T22:49:50.811-07:00The Lincoln Park carousel is open again.

Mostly weekends is when the park is visited by people from other cities. Plus, nowadays a carousel isn't the type of attraction most people are looking for. As sad as that may sound, it's the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-75331274939199642992008-09-16T20:00:00.000-07:002008-09-16T20:00:00.000-07:00I was surprised and saddened to hear of the new ca...I was surprised and saddened to hear of the new carousel. I live a couple of blocks from the park and never heard that a new one had been installed. I think very few people know its there. Hence the low ridership. They should have gotten the work out. That's really too bad. I wish I had known.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-64756989575385841602008-08-28T18:37:00.000-07:002008-08-28T18:37:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear that.

Thanks for letting me know.Floyd B.
