Mostly through the summers, carnies take on the work of the 'Carnival Circuit'. It could be a bit rough back in the day with seedy operators and few checks on workers. The games rigged so it's impossible to win and the best you could hope for after spending your last cent trying to shoot just one duck down with every gun on bad sights, was they took pity and gave you a stuffed monkey anyway.
Looking at the history of sideshow alleys, more specifically Glenelg in South Australia through the 1960s, what jumped out was that there was almost nothing there to find although searching through social media there are so many who remember it being such a central part of their summer at the beach. It's almost as if the powers want that era erased.
What are your experiences in sideshow alleys? I haven't been anywhere near them for years now.
