When Idora Park went out of business, many of its assets were auctioned off.  The Idora Carousel was
purchased by an artist in New York City, who spent YEARS carefully restoring it.  She now has a permanent
home for the fully restored carousel in the "DUMBO" (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) area
of the city and the carousel will be open to the public on September 16th.

I have some private photos of the restored carousel that were taken by a friend of mine who works
for a newspaper in Pittsburgh.. if you would like to see how beautiful the restored carousel is, here
is the link to my website:

The owner did a FANTASTIC job restoring it - unbelievable.
