When I went to the den­tist yes­ter­day, I went by a memo­r­ial for Playland-​at-​the-​Beach.

I didn’t know that’s where Play­land used to be. (I thought it was fur­ther up the coast.) Then again, I knew basi­cally noth­ing about Play­land until the Playland-​not-​at-​the-​Beach Sec­tion Ser­vice project. One of the best projects I’ve done! How can you beat build­ing an amuse­ment park?

One for the memo­r­ial boards was for the Laugh­ing Sal ani­ma­tronic thing that was restored at Playland-​not-​at-​the-​Beach, and I have to say, I’ve never really had an issue with clowns (like It didn’t bother me), but I can see why so many peo­ple (espe­cially the orig­i­nal Play­land gen­er­a­tion) are scared of them. Thing is creep­ius maximus!

I just remem­bered that when we were work­ing on Playland-​not-​at-​the-​Beach, Richard told us we could come back for free when it was all done, but I haven’t gone.
