SR069 Lakeside
description: Lakeside survived for over six decades, but the competition brought on by other more major theme parks took its toll. By 1983, the park was in financial trouble. Bought by Charles Fox in 1984, the park was struck by the Flood of 1985. The flood seemed to seal the fate of the park. Lakeside’s final day of operation was October 19, 1986. Today, the grounds of Lakeside are occupied by a shopping center.

description: Prominent on the left is a sign for W.B. Dillard Drug Co., Prescription Druggists, Soda and Mineral Waters.

A local newspaper reported “both hot and cold drinks will be served in summer and winter.” This same establishment had turned heads with the installation of a “fly brush and fan,” a contraption that drove away flies from the soda fountain and kept air stirring constantly!
