Closing Bell: Reuniting with Jane's Carousel

Hundreds of New Yorkers might be heading to Ohio to sway swing voters in the near future, but at least one busload of Ohioans are heading Brooklyn way. Friday at 10AM, more than 100 folks from Youngstown will visit Dumbo’s Jane’s Carousel; it lived there in the 1940s and 50s (the Walentas’ bought it a while back and moved it to its temporary home until it goes to the Brooklyn Bridge Park). Most of the visitors will be senior citizens. Perhaps they’ll want a pied-a-terre in Brooklyn’s most expensive neighborhood while they’re in town?
Who wrote this entry?
Idora Park, where this carousel came from closed in the 80’s. It was also purchased in the 80’s. The people who come to see the carousel are a variety of ages. I am from Ohio and saw the beautiful ride last week. I am 30. This entry seems snide in some way. Maybe its just me.
This ride is historically significant to people from this area. Its nice that its in Brooklyn. Hope its appreciated as much here as it is by the 100 Ohioians (and more) traveling 7 hours to see it from a distance.
