The Coney Island of the West

Saltair in 1901This enormous Moorish structure, shown here in 1901, is Saltair. Opened in 1893, Saltair was an amusement park on the south shore of Utah’s Great Salt Lake, one with a long, and convoluted, history. I’ll almost certainly go into Saltair at length in a future post, but I mention it now as a teaser, as tomorrow I will review the 1962 horror film, Carnival of Souls. What’s the connection? Stay tuned!
