Funtown was an amusement park on Stewart (Metropolitan) Avenue that operated in the 1960s. The park closed in 1967 while the miniature golf and bowling alley continued for years afterwards. The ruins were visible well into the 1990s and became an attraction all their own. This photo was taken in 1996 by "Scuffalong" on Tumblr. (Scuffalong on Tumblr / Used with permission)
