A job worse than an elevator operator?




I don't believe we have seen the "Dippsy-Doodle" amusement ride on nla.


"Amusement park in Venice, Los Angeles, California, April 1942."

This is a great photograph. I like the people milling about in the forground. . .the man eating caramel corn. . .the baby looking at the photographer.

One thing, in particular, caught my eye. . .if you look closely, the ride operator is on the ride! (he's in the middle of the orb)



He must be manipulating some sort of a spinning mechanism.

I imagine when he goes home at night it feels like his bedroom is spinning!
