Sorry for the OT, but I thought this was funny. I posted for sale a lot of 40 tickets for an old amusement park in Omaha, Nebraska called Peony Park.

..now from my memory I posted that the park was "defunct." Apparently it is not as I received this email from the CEO of Peony Park.
------------------------
We have had several calls on this. PEONY PARK is still in business. Please correct this or we will contact E-Bay. Thank You, Carl Jennings,President - CEO Peony Park 402-391-6253 Celebrating our 91st Year!

Now, I don't mind correcting this, but threatening to contact ebay? Also telling me a blatant lie such as "We have had several calls on this" when I can see by my own counter that only 7 people have viewed the auction which includes me and him.
So out of curiosity I looked up Peony Park on the internets because not only had my memory been telling me that Peony Park had closed up, but also just about everyone I know that have shared memories of swimming at the park also believe it to be closed.

According to wikipedia the park closed in 1994.
Not only that, but apparently many people who live IN Omaha think it is closed as well and was replaced by a grocery store.

I'm not sure if this guy is pulling my leg or what to think???
edited to add: I just found a facebook group with over 5,000 members called "I Miss Peony Park."
