Stop The Ride

. . . the Grand Imperial Whee!-zard is turning green. A light green, he hastens to add. Though those hats would seem admirably suited for transporting vomit and/or cotton candy.

The photo was taken in Cañon City, Colorado, circa 1926.

Update: I'm being deluged with hits from Flickr on this post. I'll open up the comments -- if anybody wants to let me know where they saw the link, I'd appreciate it.

This is so disconcerting. I'm not even sure I can describe just why it seems so *wrong*

It would have a lot of nostalgic heart, except for the KKKlansmen. It's leaking one way. I half-expect them to hold a bake sale and cake raffle at the end of it or something...

Hi,

Actually there is a link on reddit on the first page to this site:

http://www.pantherhouse.com/newshelton/we-give-a-shit-about-having-fun/

on the comments, someone post a link to the same image on flickr:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/35393854@N00/369225968/

And someone commented there with a link to your site...

uffss...

So here I am :)
Cheers

Joel:

I just found this link on a list that I am subscribed in my country Portugal.

It was described as "weird" picture.

Ah, thanks. Sorry your comment was held up for approval, Daniel. My spam filter trapped it because of the links. But you're approved now, so feel free to return. :)
