serlingrod: La Ronde, and the fireworks competition. Spain was giving a really great display during our visit. My girlfriend and I thought La Ronde was awesome - what a perfect location for an amusement park! Here in Philly we gotta drive 45 minutes to ride a roller coaster - WTF? Right...

EvilGentleman: I see you went to either La Ronde, the Casino de Montreal, the Grand Prix or perhaps the international fireworks competitions? I can't think of much else that is done on Ile Sainte-Helene (The original name of the last metro station before former mayor Jean Drapeau died)

Andrew Smith: Hi Deborah It might well have been located on Allotment Road and I trust your memory on this! It was firmly Irlam High when I went in the 1980's so I have no personal memory of it's time as Alfred Turner I'm afraid. Andrew.

sharkybill: A folly of epic proportions, and a tribute to a man who is confident in himself enough to do what he whats with his life. Structurally, a little scarey. I can't say for sure that the castle will be standing in 100 years. Way too many people...

Sascha, New York : Likewise, just heard about Signal Gasoline on the Sirius old-time radio channel. When was the photograph above taken? By the price of the cigarettes on the sign, it can't be too old. Are there still Signal gasoline stations in business?
