Looking for stories or photos from Playland

greenspun.com : LUSENET : San Francisco History : One Thread

Would like to correspond with anyone having stories and/or photos from the old Playland at the Beach and Fun-tier Town. Same for the Sutro Baths. Looking especially for detailed, close-up photos of some of the old rides, inside the funhouse, and the other buildings, such as the cafe by the merrie-go-round. Have checked out the websites, including the San Francisco Library's photos and found some but not eactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!

Stop it Piano Man. Louise, this link should be a bit more helpful. The real Sean is still posting as Sean M. Hall.
