Amuseum? Amusem—
Back of a building as seen from the Convention Center parking deck
Somewhere around North Third and East Marshall Streets
Could there have been some kind of Coney Island Amusement facility right in downtown Richmond? I googled around a little, but have no clues, although there is a "Coney Island Grill" (maybe) out in the West End. Further searching turned up a tantalizing reference (down in "Articles—Other") to an article to which I don't have online access, but which is available at the university library or the state library.
So much for the armchair historian thing. I may have to pop over there tomorrow to see what I can see. On the other hand, I did just determine that my university ID still works for proxy access to the research databases. I wonder how long that'll last.
