1949 Barnum Festival Bridgeport Connecticut.. Pleasure Beach...Seaside Park!

[@BigSi-xw6wv]

I grew up on Seaview Ave from the early 80's til about 2000 and I honestly appreciate finally being able to see Pleasure Beach in it's glory days. God Bless you that was a treat

Was a child in Bpt in the '50s and got to ride the rollercoaster at Pleasure Beach, and the merry-go-round. Took part in the Wing-Ding parades as a child. Got to see BPT when the giant factories were still working, and downtown was bustling. Loved the movie. Thanks.

I wished the camera men back then in Bpt would had drove around & record the city , drove through the neighborhoods , the parks & most streets , interview the residence, interview kids & teachers at schools & also city officials instead of just focusing & taking pictures & recording one main area such as downtown main st , Fairfield ave , & park ave “ Barnum festival parade,”..but hey that’s just Bridgeport for ya with really not much to look at
