"Lakeside Park
Willows in the breeze
Lakeside Park
So many memories
Laughing rides
Midway lights
Shining stars on summer nights"
-RUSH*
Yes people. THAT Lakeside Park. I'm pretty sure this snackbar was there in Neil Peart's day cause it sure as shit was in mine. I actually started drawing a comic version of this song when I was 18 but I didn't finish. I did the part about gathering on the 24th of May.... and you know, drinking a two-four of Labbatt's in the sand with your buddies... baseball caps high on the head... no shirt, farmer's tan, playing Frisbee, super-tight jeans with a comb in the back pocket. My brother and I looked for those guys but we didn't see any. So I suppose some things have changed.
*This one's for Bob whom I've heard loves his Rush.
