The end of the Brockton Fair

Why do the animals ruin everything from gun ownership to family fairs ? Can we send them back where the originally historically came from ?

Empathy is the white man's downfall. Gone too far to make any difference via legal means and even if people had the stomach for non-legal methods, the numbers are too great to do a spring cleaning. Best you could hope for is a Yugoslavia situation which won't happen either. Realistically we're just going to slowly turn into Brazil
 
Gangs are making the fair end. It's ending because the organizers can't make money doing it. And/or the property is too big of a payday to keep holding.

In short: dinero

Exactly. Its part of the reason but they'd happily let the violence go on if there was enough money to make

They are finally going to do it. Minichiello took my suggestion last time I saw him in December, Gonna turn it into a super max prison. It will fill up very quickly.

You know, it was announced recently that Walpole Prison will be closing. It's only at about 60% +/-, capacity. Within the next couple years, the remaining tenants will be getting relocated.

I thought the prison system was overflowing? I must've misunderstood the narrative

Brockton Fair, a beloved 148-year-old tradition, won't return – here's why

The Brockton Fair, a city staple since 1874, isn't just cancelled for the third year in a row. It's not coming back.

IMO, It started going downhill fast in the mid 80's when the Randolph / Murderpan troops started arriving!

I think it was before the mid-80's. I do recall going there in the 70's. Although I think my mom brought me and my little sister to it circa 1985 to watch teh fireworks. Not sure why we didn't go to my uncle's house a few blocks away and watch them from there.

Remember the year the fireworks fired into the stands.

Gotta be 20 years ago bro and I went to a Tigers game. The MGM Grand is in the middle of Detroit. A block away - abandoned cars with no wheels or doors. No different. LOL

Drove my first one in.................88? 89?
We'd hunt around all year for Dodge Diplomats and Chrysler Imperials.

I'd run a tow at night with a few friends for a local salvage yard when JM Productions was running the derby back in the mid-late 90's. We'd cover the Marshfield far too.

That whole place reeked of s.t.d's and delinquent child support payments.

Oh gosh. I recall a guy at work who lived in Marshfield talking about how great the fair was years ago. So I took my 2 young daughters. This is 2000-2002ish. I think we even pulled them from school or something to go on a weekday.

First - no parking. What?? "OH you park in someone's lawn. They don't HAVE parking." Ummmm.

Second - I've never ever ever seen so many 12-15yo girls dressed like prostitutes in my life. I mean, WTF are they breeding there in Marshfield???? Not just tight clothing. Not just REVEALING clothing. But SLUTTY TIGHT REVEALING CLOTHING along with heavy makeup.

We were out within about 2 hours tops. All set, thanks. LOL

It was probably my second year going, 1983?. We all hung out across the street behind Sears, which was the town's unofficial party spot. Towards the end of the Fair, the younger girls that were trashed beyond repair, were getting sexually assaulted and raped by the Randolph and beyond platoons in the minimal surrounding woods and neighborhoods.
I stopped going, but continued to read in the Brockton Emptyprise, the escalation in crime year after year. The crimes progressed from rape, to armed robberies with knives, to eventually gunshots. You used to be able to enter at many different locations along the perimeter. It got so bad, the police reduced the entrances to one chokepoint with metal detectors on Belmont St., from what I remember reading in the paper. Just another once great local place to go to, ruined by hoodrat animals.

Really?!?!! Carnies named Carney!! I love it! Now I need to experience this ghetto carnival!

No lie. The Carney family operated it because (I mean I think) they owned the fair grounds. Saw some quotes from them upon its possible closure. Sadly, you may have missed your window of opportunity to have rancid fried dough and to witness a truly horrifying freak show (basically, the entire thing). But that's all part of the charm.

I live off of Cedah St., not a fan of the name. It really doesn't make any sense either, it's not that close to Cedah St., and there sure as hell hasn't been a Cedah tree around here for many moons. The Cedah swamp behind me, not a single one left.
