This is hilarious! The wife and kids ain't going along with him. He needed to take a long train ride in a Pullman car to escape his family! I wonder if that was the message the advertiser was trying to convey.

When he returns to Japan in February 1972, Shoichi Yokoi, the Japanese soldier who spent 27 years hiding in the woods on Guam to evade capture, breaks down in tears.

Rumors were that the two girls had developed feelings for each other and had a falling out when Maureen was prostituting herself to strangers to satisfy her drug habit.

The one in Mandeville had a smell all its own.

Can’t describe it but it reeked.

When it closed I kept thinking they would burn it down and whatever was left inside to get rid of the stink. LOL

This is from Ponchartrain Beach Amusement Park (RIP).

I never noticed the sign below.

Ponchartrain Beach added a new compact little German roller coaster ride around 1959 called the Wild Maus.



It was gone from the park by 1976 or so, the urban myth was that some cars from it had derailed and kilt some folks or conversely a kid had been thrown off a car and fallen. I didn’t hear Bill Elder report it, so I suspect it was rumor.

A couple of years ago I was in Vienna at their amusement park Prater Wein Amusement Park link and they also still have a die Wilde Maus similar ride there. Lotsa Maus coasters were shipped worldwide.

I worked one of the game booths there in the mid 60's and one of my cousins worked the Skeeball game. An older guy and I worked the Milk Bottle Booth where you put three metal milk bottles in a pyramid stack of 2 on the bottom and the last atop the first 2 and the customer had to knock all 3 down with a ball to win a prize. The catch was, one of the bottom bottles was way heavier than the other two and that made it harder to knock all 3 of them down.

It was a pretty hot, miserable job in the summer months when I worked there during vacation from high school. The only good part was watching all the gals walk by in their shorts or bathing suits along the Midway.

Food from the concession stands was some nasty tasting stuff, but the sodas were good and cold.

Oh, and the pay sucked at the time. It was minimum wage of $1.25 and hour--------Work 12 hours and earn $15
