Tobagganing at Pinchot State Park

It was a beautiful windless morning, a bright blue sky overhead, and light snow covering tree branches like icing on a cake. Winter scenes have always been a particular challenge to me, and I've never been able to capture a picture-worthy scene as well as I can see it. So I keep working at it. There is just one set of partially snow covered footprints on the trail. A pair of…

The Parachute in Riverview Park in Chicago

The parachute in Riverview Park was a frightening ride. You very slowly went up and up and up. Then you hit the top, and floated down. Riverview operated from 1904 to 1967. It was located at Belmont and Western.

Riverview Amusement Park tells the story of Riverview's growth from 22 acres and three rides to 140 acres and more than 100 attractions. Through an extensive collection of never-before published images, author Dolores Haugh chronicles the tale of this impressive chapter of Chicago history. Known as the "Roller Coaster Capital of America," Riverview remained a Chicago landmark until it was unexpectedly closed in 1967.
