Hoffman's Playland
Latham, NY

From 2014

Not sure if the sign is still there (I highly doubt it), however, the rides and whatnot are long gone. There is no room for sentimentality in the 21st Century. This was a local landmark on the border of Albany and Latham, NY.

I lived about 7 miles from here, back in the early 2000's and unfortunately, I never visited when they were in business. Even worse, they had an old-fashioned ice cream stand that was in front of the park that looked really cool at night. I used to drive by and think to myself, "I should go get my camera and shoot this at night." Sadly, I never did.

21st Century motto---"They're condos now."
