You might want to check out another of my blog posts about a restored one very similar to the one I remember which I discovered about a month ago at Glen Echo Park in Maryland. It is worth the trip!<BR/><BR/>http://marilyfe.blogspot.com/2008/12/eight-nights-of-chanukah.htmlMarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793777259154917363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098232098826680639.post-22739632853848301702009-02-09T19:07:00.000-05:002009-02-09T19:07:00.000-05:00Hi, I also grew up near Hunting Park and went on l...Hi, I also grew up near Hunting Park and went on lucky summer evenings with my Dad to the Merry Go round in the pretty green house. Oh what a treasure in my memory. I thank you so much for the chance to share this memory with you. <BR/> I also went swimming in the lake and saw the fireworks. What a special time for us to have a safe and beautiful park in walking distance. <BR/> Have you been to the new Merry Go Round on Race St near the bridge. It is also nice and kids are going with there schools to see it.

I know how sun beams would feel on my eye lids when I, with eyes closed, would explore the ring with my fingers, to get a good feel of it, a great treasure, which, without hesitation, I'd trade for 3 minutes of the counter-clockwise dance with lights.<BR/> Thank you for the story.

But you did get the gold ring. You have been riding the merry go round of life. I feel the gold ring is a wonderful substitute. By the way I too rode the one in O.C. NJ. and was fast enough to catch several rings at one time, but, alas not the brass one. Maybe this summer we'll check it out agaim.sabasendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258700326286931460noreply@blogger.com
