Paragon Park and Nantasket Beach was a blast. In the sixties, we'd take the "Nantasket Boat" from Long Wharf. It was absolutely packed with wild kids. The crew was in Hell! Now, nothing but the original carousel remains. Damn progress. Sadly, the old amusement park on Revere Beach met the same fate. I just hope Canobie Lake stays open.
We were lucky kids. Our offspring got the shaft.
