These photos are of "The Falls" at "The Glen", which is now a great place in the middle of "The Ville" for a leisurely stroll, 
some friendly conversation over your SPOT coffee, and hanging out with "The Ducks".  

But I remember going to Glen Park Casino & Amusement Park when I was ... oh ... around 5 or 6 – a  V E R Y  long time ago.
It was an always-crowded, small park down in the glen (of all places), between the falls and the red water mill, 
where my parents would take me to play Skeeball and ride the kiddie rides!

The Casino was built in the 40's, slightly before my time, housing a theater and restaurant.
I remember a huge fire destroying a nightclub on the property (the "Inferno") when I was 8 years old.  
I believe that a second fire in 1973 claimed the rest.
