Weird Things I Saw at Old Town

This past weekend I took my daughter to Old Town which is a local area attraction with shops, bars, restaurants, and carnival rides.

It was a spectacle of the strange and beautiful.


Where's Waldo?


Sometimes it was difficult to tell the real from the unreal.


If you ever see me working in a poodle skirt at 60+ you have my permission to kill me.


My zombie boyfriend. I think I coulda had 'em. He was a very charming young man.


You tell me. Is this is dead girl sharing an ice cream cone with a dalmatian?
There is another one of a girl eating an ice cream cone, but it's too fucking perverted to post here, lol. Weird shit...


Did he order the burger and fries? Or did the burger and fries order him?


What the? Somebody tell me.

Some weird t-shirts:


Yes, this was on a t-shirt.


The south will rise again and it will rise with a master race of stripper babies.





And one for the kiddies:

You put in a dollar and you get to watch a real rubber man get electrocuted! Sweet!


We were there for 3 1/2 hours and this girl was immersed in this book the entire time. She ran the caricature booth...guess caricatures just don't have the draw they used to.

I'm wondering why the ice cream looks like a naked butt.

and there was a lot more to this mural...all kinds of freaky scenarios with dead and/or malformed people. It was totally bizarre.

There is something too perverted to post at TFP? Now you have me intrigued...

Those are nice photos. Very colorful and some interesting characters.

Shouldn't Boo have something over her face?

I took it off. On my computer her face looks obscured.

And the other mural shot portrays a little girl and her relation to the ice cream cone is...questionable.

Oh, it looked like a reflection over half of her face. I was just curious.

Which end was she using? Because I would think the pointy end would be a bit uncomfortable and the other end kind of messy.

That would be quite a wall to see.

MM you have me really intrigued about the rest of that weird mural. Maybe its just because I love weird stuff like that...I love Frida Khalo, is it worst than that kind of stuff or just because its a lil girl possibly?

Oh, LC, it is nothing, nothing like Frida Kahlo.

More like Norman Rockwell on a bad, bad, bad acid trip that also happened to deprive him of every ounce of aesthetic grace.

I will edit some more of them and post them later. Because of the lighting in there, only a few of them came out well.

Ya got me.
I don't know that either ever portrayed Richthofen. The only thing that I remember Stroheim from is Heart of Humanity.

No, I'm just saying he looks like him as depicted in the painting.

I found the painting to have comical flair...much like everything I saw that day.

for the past few years I've encouraged people to visit obscure towns nearby to them, mainly because of increasing travel costs and a desire to help boost the domestic economy. but of course, there is much inherent value in visiting places like this, that might as well be foreign countries. great post!

mixedmedia, I haven't visited Old Town in years! These photos make me want to give it a go again. The carnival rides are always fun, especially the wooden rollercoaster in the back. No line, I must have taken twenty or thirty trips.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, Cernunnos, but the rollercoaster is no longer wooden. I suppose they have replaced it. It is now a steel rollecoaster.

Pity that, because I love wooden rollercoasters.

Oh ok, well the pictures you posted came out great! I meant to say that in my first post. I love the obscureness of them.

nice mix, your right. im glad i checked this out. ohh the nostalgia.

i heard they they took the electrocution thing down, i guess not.

i used to hang out here all the time when i was 16 or so. mohawk up, lounging in front of the tattoo shop or haunted house. most of the time i would get bored and sit on the petrified logs by the crystal shop and drink a beer, ever watchful of the police.

hope you had fun at that odd little place, i know i used too.

(PS, don't touch too much stuff at the "Groovy" shop. they hate it)

It is in Kissimmee, just south of Orlando, on Highway 192.

Basically if you are heading south on I-4 then exit at Hwy. 192 and turn right, you go to Disney.
Turn left, you go to this place.
