Newest Mega Disk'O Picture

It's a panorama view so it doesn't fit on the blog. The good news is I uploaded it on our page on Facebook so you can still see it.

Nostalgic Postcards

Ed Kindle has put together a great collection of old Erie postcards on Flickr. A few of them show Waldameer, like the one here.

As you can see, there once were beautiful flowers marking the entrance to Rainbow gardens, hence the name.

By my count, there are eight more Waldameer postcards in his collection. Here are the links to the rest. Put on some Erie-ish tunes, sit back, and enjoy!
