The circus comes to town

I've had this photo in my file for so long I don't remember its source.
Baby elephants, Hydraulic brick pavers, a street car, and is that a Model T?

Where were the elephants headed? Sportsmen's Park?

That reminds me I have memories of The Highlands which was an amusement park where FPCC now stands. I refused to ride The Comet and was terrified by The Bob Sled. And I'll tell you this: The Famous Barr parking garage spiral exit ramp was a tame version of the Bob Sled.

Great. I'll have nightmares tonight.

You probably got the picture from here:

Scroll down a bit and you'll see it. It's a great website, if not updated very often.
