azzah Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Has anyone out there been to lakeside park? Does it exist? And if so what about the fireworks? I've always wondered about this since i was a kid. Can anyone throw any light (Ha!) on the matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 In the Rush References and Lyrics section, BSG has posted a link to a comprehensive guide. Heres an abridged version of the Lakeside Park reference Lakeside Park: Not in Toronto, as is commonly assumed. It's about an hour to the south, in St. Catharines, Ontario, where Neil grew up -- in a suburb called Port Dalhousie (pronounced Da-LOO-zy), to be exact. We were told by an Authentic Canadian on the premises that they do have a fireworks show every Victoria Day, which is traditionally the 24th of May but now apparently celebrated, U.S. three-day-weekend style, on the nearest Monday. Ah, tradition. More info - http://www.sarnia.com/music/rush/to.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endlesslymocking Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 From like page 43. I have been to Lakeside Park! I did not know Rush existed when I went though. The only "ten cent wonder" left is the Carousel. and it costs 5 cents to ride! No fireworks. There are some pretty good ice cream joints though.
