Luna Park in Charleston, West Virginia, around 1915. There were many Luna Parks in the U.S., the most famous at Coney Island in New York. This photo is believed to have been taken on the Fourth of July, due to the dress of some of the people (like Uncle Sam). The Park, like many Luna Parks of the day burned down, and was never replaced. The strange streets that are still in use to this very day in Charleston where Luna park stood, are a direct reflection of the walkways there. Today, hundreds of homes sit in its place.
