VG++ The whole purpose is to honor the memory of amusement parks that once were and are no more, while at the same time, celebrating some parks that still are going, and, in some cases, going strong. Parks that have closed, like Euclid Beach, "...are classic examples," Bush says, "of a disappearing part of Americana, and it is a big deal to preserve some memory of personal expression in an impersonal world." A heady quote like that sort of gives you an idea of where Bush and Hershey are coming from in all this. They were boyhood friends who came to love Euclid Beach and now have a love affair with amusement parks, past and present.
