There is a great park here in Independence, and I am talking real great. One of the highlights of the park that my girls have enjoyed is the carrousel. Now that Labor Day has come and gone, the house of operation are quite minimal, but we look forward to regular visits next year.
Get this...only $.05 a ride! There is a city statute that says that price will never rise. The girls love to go up with their nickels and dimes and buy their own tickets and I get to watch them absolutely enjoy themselves for the price of next to nothing!
This carrousel was put together I believe in the summer of 1950! 60 years later, it is still being used and loved! I found some awesome old pictures of the construction. Of course, I am emotionally attached to this place already, so these pictures are really great to see!
I heart Independence.

5 cents? What kid doesn't like to buy their own tickets! I already am in love with your town, let's see more!
Ooh jealous of the price of that carousel. I think the one at Liberty park is like $1.50. Cheap, but not cheap enough for kids to afford it all on their own!
what the heck?!!! 5 freaking cents?
I moved to the wrong town.
