Myrtle Beach is still a place I'd love to check out. I love the idea of boardwalks and need to get out and visit some boardwalk parks!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!

Thanks Shawn Damon and same back to you too!

At least you can check out the seaside there in Myrtle Beach even if the Pavilion has been bulldozed. Last I heard it was still a vacant lot. You definitely should go to Morey's and Santa Cruz though. I think you'd really like them both!

Yes to both of those parks! As well as Blackpool and what's left of Coney Island.

Speaking of Coney Island, here's a collection of images from an Astroland postcard. How many of the attractions/images in the letters can you name?

I love the look of that Coney Island postcard. Here is an old card from Grona Lund in Stockholm Sweden. The park has really changed from the days of this postcard.

Wow Gröna Lund has added so much to the park since that rendering! Any idea what year that is from Shane?
