Much different nowadays than when Neil Peart grew up in the area. They still have a (traveling) carnival once a year and fireworks - but it's very small by comparison to the old days. And the historic carousel is still there - a nickel-a-ride - maintained and operated by the City.
But it's all about to change with the new development very soon. Demolition has begun on several of the old buildings nearby.
