Nostalgia: Palisades Amusement Park


This fabled local amusement park has long since closed, and was a already a nostalgia item when I was a little kid. Nevertheless, memorabilia and fans of the old park are still around, and you can see posters at local businesses. The area where the largest salt-water wave pool was located is now the site of the Horizon House apartment complexes.

Now that Callahan's hot dog hut is also gone (its now a bank--as if Fort Lee didn't have enough), the only remainder of the old amusement era is Hiram's hot dog stand.

If you get in the mood to get nostalgic, visit the online tribute site at http://www.palisadespark.com

This is from a series of infrared photos taken by Flickr poster Rneves--there are some beautiful images of Fort Lee and Englewood that can only be captured with a film camera. Check them out.
