My wife and I went there for our Honeymoon 51 years ago. Brenda Lee was playing there./
A few years ago I heard they had rebuilt the Steel Pier. LOL Yeah they put a merry go round and a ferris wheel on it.

Five years earlier, the lighted Steel Pier signs had not yet been installed at the top of the building, but the place was hoppin' just the same.
How were those wicker carts powered?
