Anybody attend the 'Jungle' lecture last night ?
Some of you may have seen the article in Thursday's paper regarding the exhibit and lecture on the 'Jungle,' the hobo encampment on the former Luna Park grounds (Luna was not mentioned in the paper, they used Nay Aug as a reference point). I was unable to attend due to work scheduling and finding out at the last minute, did anyone on here go? Was Luna mentioned? I know in the early 40s, the Times ran a picture and little description showing the remains of the lagoon for the Shoot-the-Chutes ride, stating that the area was now known as the Jungle and that the hobos were using the lagoon to wash their clothes. I am guessing that the last surviving remains of Luna were used to construct some of the hovels on the site, and I am very anxious to get down there and see what was photographed.
