I guess you might say it was vaudeville in some way. A friend and I were discussing the ‘peep’ machines we once frequented at Crescent Park’s penny arcade. We called them ‘peep ‘machines because peep meant naughty, and that’s what we wanted.
I loved Crescent Park. It was a bustling, old-time amusement park on the shores of Narragansett Bay in Riverside, Rhode Island and operated for 93 years from 1886 until 1979.
The park featured a large midway full of amusement rides, games, and food stands. At one end was the famous Alhambra Ballroom, where many big bands played in the 1930s and 40s. At the other end, on a bluff overlooking beautiful Narragansett Bay, was the world-famous Shore Dinner Hall which could seat two thousand people at one time. The Rhode Island shore dinner that made the hall famous included lobster, Rhode Island clam chowder, clam cakes, fish, corn, and all the trimmings.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLO
