Loved going there as a kid. Always an early summer carnival. A rite of passage. A short walk from QM. Threw up once when I was quite young on a twisty ride called The Cobra. Good times.
ReplyDeleteFast forward about 30+ years.:The wife and I take our two young kids to MHR carnival on a Friday night. I didn’t know where I was. Like I stepped into the Twighlight Zone. I actually felt unsafe with all the Dude around. Left quickly. Never been back. Sad.
They often got one going on at 119th and Marshfield. Prolly the same dudes.
DeleteDon't be profiling dude. Dude wants to gave fun too.
ReplyDeleteThe dance floor Friday night was nothing short of amazing.
