I worked at the foot long hot dog stand across from the pinball machines the summer of 1969. The last opening day there was a big party with all the workers. There somehow was booze snuck in and a friend got drunk and he lived one block from me so I had to drive his stick shift car home and I didn't know how to drive stick but after several stalls and jerks, I finally got him home safely! A friend of mine and her family owned the French Fry stand. Those were the best french fries ever! Annie Popesqu was the manager of the foot long stand. Sometimes I worked the snow cone stand that was connected to the foot long stand. On a boring day we had snowball fights! Lol

I really enjoyed seeing these pictures! Idora Park was my very first job at age 16! What alot of happy memories you reminded me of with these pictures! When I would go on a break, I would ride the Wild Cat on slow days several times till my break was over! I memorized every bend and curve and rode with no hands! I was hooked on the adrenalin high! I wish that I would have attended the auction because I would have loved to aquire one of those signs! Thank you for sharing the pictures and all the happy memories.
