Rainbow Pier in the Background
"The Pike, in Long Beach since 1902, had its beginning as a beach and bath house resort. It was located at the end of the very fashionable red car electric line from Los Angeles. Crowds came from all parts of the country to enjoy the beautiful beaches and bath house and pool. This area gradually grew into a real old-fashioned amusement park with fun and games and thrill rides that fit every age group. As the years passed, the park kept pace with new and modern rides including a brand-new cyclone racer. But it still retained its old-fashioned air of the country carnival with fun for all, and no admission fee." (From THE PIKE PASSBOOK).
Webmaster Note: When I was younger back in the late '40s and early '50s, my brother, Max, and I would take the red car down to the Pike or Rainbow Pier and spend the day for 10 cents, the hard part being saving a dime to get back home.
