2. Reader Comment of the Day: "Not that it even comes close to the scale of that place or the tragedy surrounding it, but I still mourn Funland every time I drive by it. It was such a great place to have growing up and it's so sad to see it the way it is now. Also missing the Wamesit Mini Golf/Driving Range (where the Nissan dealership is), Wamesit Bowl (where BK is in front of Home Depot) and the Drive-In that is now Home Depot," reader SD From T-Bury commenting on the article, When the 'Funtown' of Your Youth Disappears.
