Re: [OM] [IMG] Last Weekend (bonus boobies inside)

If you're into carousels you need to come to the triple cities area of 
Binghamton/Johnson City/Endicott, NY which calls itself the carousel 
capital of the world.

"Greater Binghamton has the only carousel collection of this kind in the 
world. Of the fewer than 150 antique carousels remaining in the United 
States and Canada, six by Allen Herschell are in Greater Binghamton, New 
York.

Because of the uniqueness of these carousels and the incomparable 
circumstances of their survival and existence, all six are placed on the 
New York State Historic Register and the National Register of Historic 
Places."

Sorry, not much in the way of pictures to be found on the web.  Maybe I 
should fix that.  One of them is only about 1/2 mile from my house.
