   That is crazy, especially the curved arch walk. Does anyone know the name of this style?

   Found this interesting history. Built by Mormons to be the Coney Island of the west and “help demonstrate that Utah wasn’t strange place with alien people and customs.”

   I encourage you all to watch the fantastically eerie 1962 Herk Harvey film, Carnival of Souls. Several scenes were filmed at then-recently-abandoned Saltair, it truly is one of the most creepy, Twilight Zone-esque, disturbing films ever made. https://youtu.be/jW_DftBegZs

   One of the strangest places I’ve ever seen. Can’t really explain it – almost eerie.
