Kids and family entertainment: the amusement tests, run whole — and the one family room that stands

history of, not new stuff — the present enters only as an arc's end

The amusement-ground test leads, and its answer is no: no amusement park, trolley park or kiddie park ever stood in New Carlisle in the record reached — the interurban-era pleasure ground of this corridor stood east, on the Ash Road ground under an Osceola postal address, and it is Osceola's build that owns Pleasureland whole; this section prints the negative and the boundary, and annexes nothing. The skating houses: no rink, roller or ice, is named for this town in the record reached — a searched negative. Miniature golf's two waves: neither the 1930s craze nor the named-course second wave leaves a New Carlisle course in the sources read — a searched negative, printed whole. The drive-in test: the screen was never in this town; the corridor's drive-ins stood in the South Bend–Mishawaka ground and are those builds' whole — pointer only. The matinee record rides inside the opera-house gap: what children's programming the town's rooms ran, the record reached does not name, and an unnamed program prints as unnamed. Swimming: no municipal pool of New Carlisle appears in the record reached, and the town's swimming life — river water on the Kankakee ground south of town — stands as a named gap (GAP-NC5-ART-5), settler the town's park records and the press runs. What stands, and has stood, is the bowling house: the town's alley on Arch Street, carried whole in Sports as the town's league room and here at its family size — the lanes, the arcade and the ice-cream counter under one roof are the form the record gives New Carlisle's family fun in the present generation, and the alley's own early course is a gap Sports names. Organized fun at the town's own hand — the park programs, the library's children's room as a place of fun, the society's architecture-and-history camp for kids — stands at pointer to Parks, Libraries and the museum article above, where each is already whole.
