“Jimmy Johnson’s Playland Park” by Ed Gaida
Here’s an interesting piece of my family’s history:
“Jimmy Johnson’s Playland Park” by Ed Gaida, is a book about my grandfather, James Edward Johnson who built an amusement park in San Antonio, Texas in the late 30’s, and closed it in 1980. Some of the pictures in the book are ones that I’ve never seen before. I’m not through reading it - I’ve barely started since I just got it in the mail today. Ed was known as Uncle Ed and is still a best friend of the family’s.
I look forward to learning more about the Grandfather/Entrepreneur I never knew, and reliving such wonderful memories of PlayLand Park.
