You drive by it for years then one day you pass by and it is gone... Any memories?    Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd, And now a bubble burst, and now a world. | ||

Wow you would think in a day of declining revenues that park concessions would be the first thing saved in a park! | ||

Unfortunately, my only memory of it is how ugly and tacky it looked. | ||

Good ridance. I never saw it occupied, ever. This building disapearance act is getting rather common around the city Im often suprised when I see something go that Ive been seeing my whole life. | ||

The orginal concession stand was far simpler. A few years ago some got control and added all the googie-looking excess and gaudy paint job. They appear to have spent a lot of money then went belly up after one season. | ||

Anyone have any pics of the concession stand as it originally looked? | ||

The concession stand near the Conservatory/Aquarium is gone also. | ||

Yep, Gistok, Loiterway Refreshemnts have been gone since 2000 [demo pics on following page.] I would have thought that one should have been saved because the proximity of the big slide, playscape, conservatory and aquarium [then] as well as picnic grounds gave it steady business. Never understood that move. | ||

Excellent, a parking lot. | ||

Parking lot was already there. Now we have a bigger lot.  | ||

At least it looks like they put up a new wood fence. | ||

too bad, that place had a chance to cluster people, btw my favorite part of the park, the walk to the marble lighthouse. | ||
