Philly To Wildwood-ify Fairmount Park

As the summer ends, it’s time to think: Hmm, what should the city start thinking about building for next year’s dog days?

Personally, we can’t think of anything better than a water park in Fairmount Park. John Street met last week with a local investment firm about the idea — which is also pushed, of course, by Denis Carlson, who was acquitted last year of lying to the FBI.

James Kenney (also at the meeting) explained to the stupid just what a water park is:

“A water park is a place where families can go, and enjoy slides and water sports and lazy river pools, to lay on inner tubes. It’s just basically family fun.”

While Kenney and Street were talking about a water park, five more people were shot and killed.
