Bozo the Clown (if this is BOZO) used to give me nightmares. Ever since I saw the movie "IT" I swear I used to avoid walking close to a sewer drainage opening when I walked to school. Didn't Bozo's hair used to be a little more wild? He must have had just come from a salon.

Hey stug, I am trying to figure out where that picture was taken obviously it goes way back , but is that one of the "elmhurst" gas tanks in the background? I forgot about wonderrama ? That takes me back, thanks for the trip

Glad I could return the favor. I believe that's the same tanks that were later painted with checkerboard pattern (red and white). I'm not sure if it's Elmhurst, though it very well could be. I know that they were imploded some years ago.
I grew up in the Cooper Park projects that were right in front of them. My niece still lives in my Moms old apartment. I think that picture was taken near Grand street in Bushwick, angled that way. I'll research this and get back to you.

Im pretty sure that is one of the elmhurst gas tanks . I looked on a map and if you were standing on grand street in elmhurst looking east , you would be able to see the gas tanks from there. They were indeed demolished a few years ago. When there were backups on long island expressway near that area( news reports would say "by elmhurst gastanks"

I know I've already mentioned Roy Rogers, but have since stumbled onto this web presentation of a tribute to THOSE OLD WESTERN MOVIES.
I hope someone enjoys this as much as I did.

Trpl.....those old western stars brought back memories. I don't watch Western genre movies anymore, but I did as a kid. I even had a Hopalong Cassidy cowgirl shirt & skirt with fringe on it. Loved Topper, his horse.
If I didn't recognize some of the names, I recognized the faces.

Does he really need "the clown" after his name? Is he going to be confused with Bozo the District Attorney?
Ahhhhh...you must a young buck. If you grew up in my era "Bozo the Clown" was a popular kids TV program. Everyone who remembers it refer to him as "Bozo the Clown". Bozo the District Attorney sounds like a failed TV pilot.
