Walk into the sea. A trip to an abandoned pleasure pier

  • "abandoned pleasure pier" -- that's quite a euphemism, but don't worry, there's no need to walk into the sea, just try match.com.
  • OOOOOOOooooooooohh!!!!!! Carnival of Souls, anyone?
  • What the hell was that??
  • I'm not sure I understand
  • Is you referrinating to my "Carnival of Souls" reference? It was a creepy movie set partly on an abandoned pleasure pier much like the one in the FPP. The organ, in particular, might have been lifted directly out of the film.
  • I was referring to petebest's comment. I'm not sure what he meant
  • I can't seem to find any photos of the Saltair Pavilion in its derelict state as it appeared in "Carnival of Souls;" it's been restored since then.
  • I was referring to the FPP. I thought pleasure piers had, y'know, like chicks on 'em and stuff.
  • Ah, I see
  • Pleasure pee-ers? Yeah, I think we got some a them around here...
  • welcome to the land of the easily confused, where making a post is like having a cat chase a laser pointer in circles..and then running the little bugger into a wall! but..I gotta admit, you folks are amusing! :)
  • *stares blankly at HuronBob*
  • did someone call me?
  • And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!
  • Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!!!
  • That was a fun read. You could see that the pier leading to the island was in really sad shape, so the only way to get there was along the (usually sea covered) floor of the bay. I found myself counting the minutes until the tide came in and caught the fellow. Of course, this did not happen as there was a report.
  • Great post dng. I was particularly taken with his caption 'stills from a rag-and-bone man's dreams'.
  • I imagine the Coast Guard would be just tickled pink to get a call from this idjut if the tide had come in early.
