I thought we were all supposed to be mourning the closure of the attractions, the final collapse of Ruby's, the encroachment of fat-cat development. I guess we have to do it all over again next winter.
But Ruby's Old Time was still open for business, and as far as I could see so was pretty much everything else.
Deno's? Check, complete with Wonder Wheel (I did). Luna Park? Check, complete with Cyclone (I didn't). The Sideshow too, although mega-star (and Facebook friend) Heather Holliday seems to have moved on.
Oh, Nathan's. Yes there was Nathan's. And seagulls and sun burn and sand between the toes. Como siempre.
