I met an antiques guy who tried to sell me the kiddie train, with conductor car, and the tracks, that used to be at FunTown, for $1000.00.
Funtown Amusement Center, once a vibrant fixture in Atlanta during the 1960s, stood along 20 acres of Stewart Avenue across from Zayre Department Store—now known as Metropolitan Parkway. The park offered a variety of attractions, including rides like the Wild Mouse roller coaster, Crazy Dazy, Kiddie Whip, a Ferris wheel, and a real 1865 steam train. It opened May 27, 1961.
Flashing lights, people laughing and screaming, music playing, the carnival is in town
In Alpharetta, Georgia, during the 60s, 70s, and 80s, we had a traveling carnival set up in an empty lot a couple of times a year. These would have a convoy of trucks and trailers that would, within a few days, erect a bevy of rides, concessions, and games.
