As a kid, I remember my grandfather taking me often to Nellie Bly Amusement Park in Brooklyn, NY. Now renamed "Adventurer's Park"

Precisely. I used to come here as a kid, and watching this video made me nostalgic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxiD9rSzEcU

I never knew all of the details about Nellie Bly's life, and I thought the park was dilapidated and gone, but apparently they restored it under a new name and new management.

I'm glad I now know more about Nellie Bly, a name I had forgotten from my childhood.

Me too! I actually lived not too far from there for some time in Brooklyn
