Underground Atlanta - cool when it first opened, then turned dangerous, then got revived, and is now on the downhill side again.
Sid and Marty Krofft's indoor amusement park in Atlanta - slowest rides I've ever seen. It was all a joke.
Rich's and Davison's in Atlanta and everywhere else - Macy's is a sad, sad, shabby substitute.
Parisian in Birmingham and other locations - we Alabama residents are still livid that it was sold to Belk and converted into crappy, low-class merchandise.
I doubt anybody on this board is from Florence, Ala., but there was an amusement place on the river, around 1959-60, that had trampolines stretched over pits dug in the ground. I loved that place! Only got to go one time. I was, oh, 6 or 7 years old.
