Nedick's (shown at right) was known

for its' orange drink but became a

large chain of coffee & snack shops

throughout the NY metropolitan area

Dreamland was the shortest lived of

the 3 major amusement parks & burnt

down during the remodeling project

that was decided by Samuel Gumpertz

who was put in charge of the failing

humongous operation in 1911 & never

was rebuilt after that

The Fat Lady is as genuine as any we've seen. What an array of talent on the bill. It must have been a hell of a show while it lasted.
