Playland Park's address was 9200 South Main St. My family lived inside the gates from 1942 until 1952.
My Dad was a partner in Busch-Laube Concessions who had the food stands.
Dad and Mother owned the mug joint ( photo machine) My brother and I had a pony ride. David and I bought our ponies and tack from the guy who owned the pony ride on South Main a couple of blocks north of the Shamrock.
There was a downtown amusement park that was called Playmore.
I also remember Playland Stadium and the accident. Sam Slusky (one of the owners of Playland) was killed in that one. I had been in the stadium talking to Mr. Slusky just a few minutes before.
