Metro Monthly - Inside Conneaut Lake Park - July 3, 2010

The long holiday weekend afforded me the time to visit one of my favorite childhood places, Conneaut Lake Park in nearby Pennsylvania. Along with Youngstown, Ohio's Idora Park, this is where my family and I spent many summer days. Conneaut Lake Park has seen better days, but there are fund raising drives to help generate money to revitalize and restore the Blue Streak and other attractions. Some of the rides are gone, and some are not running...but many are still there and operational, including the Devil's Den with its infamous "Wall of Gum!". With some investment of time, money and loving care, I'd bet that Conneaut Lake Park could return to its days of glory.

3:52. I have a personal message for the person that did this. Are you a loser? Do you feel better about yourself now? I really hope you read this because you are a complete asshole, and many other people feel the same about you too, you waste of life.

Everyone PLEASE vote to help Conneaut Lake Park receive $50,000 to help fix the Blue Streak on the Pepsi Refresh Project website. Voting ends on July 31st and Conneaut Lake Park desperately needs the help. There is a link on my channel for everyone to vote and you can find the link on Conneaut Lake Park's website as well. Thank You!!!
