Where are the heads of our business, civic, and historical people at around here? There is enough big money people around Youngstown to get our carousel back here where it belongs. They should never of let it go, but now the time has come to get it back. It is part of Youngstown's history that can be saved, and it is priceless to this community. It is better to have it up and running at a local Park (Mill Creek or Boardman Park) then being stored in some warehouse in New York City. It is the last thing that remains of Idora (except our memories). How do we get it back? How do we get the people who can make this happen off their dead a**es? Cleveland saved the carousel from Euclid Park and will soon be downtown along the water front.... they did it... why can't we?

wouldn't it be nice if Reverend Wagner and/or his congregation would contribute to this note worthy cause as a civic minded individual and/or church group. I'm sure that many of his perishiners spent many aday and have fond memmories as we do at the park on the merry-go-round. In a way it might help heal the wound created by the loss- just a thought

Yes, I agree with you I also would like to see the Idora Park carousel up and running but last I heard The New York Couple that purchased it was considering taking it apart and selling it. Maybe some one should check.
