Are there lots of new buyers of the condos? I hope not. I'd like to see the developers fail for the bad karma of destroying what was once a happy place.
Sadly, they are being bought as fast as they're going up.
Rumor Mill has it, and I am almost 100% certain it's dead wrong, is the large lot that remains might be "New Whalom Park", but the cul-de-sac roads with duplexes planned for those empty regions squashes that. I think I've read they'll try and put it elsewhere (the new Whalom) nearby, but I don't see that happening. :(
@georgef551 I can imagine that the lot you speak of is just a small fraction of what the park was, likely to be a shadow of its former self. I think it's better not to insult the local people by erecting what essentially would be a parody of the old park, IMO. As for the buyers of the condos, I guess it's part of the vapid population that has no interest in historic culture, basically just "mall-babies".
I don't think the new amusement park will ever happen, to be honest. I don't think it would survive anyway, with Six Flags, and Canobie Lake relatively nearby.
Before you know it, we'll all have our very own slice of exciting suburban bliss encroaching upon our once pedestrian, drab neighborhoods. Hooray for AFDC recipients, car alarms and shattered glass.
My favorite ride is condo. I love the Black Condo part.

That's a pretty good ride, but my favorite one is Condo.

I don't know. Most people under 30 are terrified of it, and have nightmares for weeks. :)

Not with the big theme parks killing off these neighborhood dinosaurs. Canobie Lake Park (Salem, NH) is the closest surviving amusement park now.
