Cool building!
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a bit of a British tradition that didn't travel to Canada, unfortunately. Lovely looking building.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, Leslie. I thought it was an American tradition because they used the Coney Island name but it hadn't occurred to me that they both followed the British tradition of amusement parks.
DeleteI don't know about you, but the "Turkey Trots" sounds like getting the "runs" from eating turkey! cool photo, though!
ReplyDeleteThat would be unfortunate, in the middle of a fun park. :lol:
DeleteThe building almost looks like a mosque!
ReplyDeleteMany children and adults alike would have spent many happy times here I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteNothing like art deco architecture! I've always admired it.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like a fun place.
Looks like a fun place to spend the day!
