Closed New England Amusement Parks

I've edited and put together this video of closed New England amusement parks.

It really brings back some childhood memories. It is too bad that they are not around anymore.

Enjoy:

Photos of Rhode Island

I was thinking back, of Rhode Island, yesterday. I have to say, that I miss the food there.

The clam cakes and chowder, the Italian food, the Italian grinders, New York System weeners. The food is just about all I miss, really. The restaurants just cannot be beat.

I found some pictures of Rhode Island, on Flickers. They really show things that I remember of Rhode Island.

Of course, the winters there are just horrible. It is always cold there.

It's a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there, again.


These are photos of Rhode Island's famous "Narragannset" beer and some clam chowder.

I grew up in Rhode Island and I remember going to Rocky Point, when I was a kid. It was such a blast!


Rocky Point Amusment Park was in Warwick, Rhode Island. From 1847 - 1994.
Sadly, the park closed 1994.
