Way before PS5 and air conditioning, summertime meant outdoor fun. In years past, how did Bronx families spend their free time and what little disposable income they had during the hottest months? The borough was once home to several amusement parks offering Bronxites plenty of options for family-friendly entertainment during the dog days of summer. Olga Luz and Angel have a conversation with Mike Virgintino, author of Freedomland USA: The Definitive History, who tells us about one of the most remembered and cherished theme parks by a myriad of Baby Boomers.
