Re: Silver Beach
By Brian Thornton

Near where I grew up in southwestern Michigan, on the lake Michigan
shore near Benton Harbor, there was an old Amusement park Named 
Silver Beach.  It started at the turn of the century.  For a while
it boasted on of the largest rollercoasters.  I know they had several
band organs including a very large Ruth.   By the late 60s, Benton Harbor
became a major welfare & crime center.  Silver Beach died a slow painful
death.
