Can We Keep It Real.

Oakland Beach When the Warwick Textile mill was doing well in Warwick Rhode Island another business started to emerge along the Warwick coastline amusement parks and summer resort. From Mr Oakland Beach who was also called The Merry Go Round king of the Carousel. Movie theathre and moonshine houses everywhere. Rollor coasters and dodge Em cars. Oakland Beach gets hit by really bad Hurriciane comes around again. Another world war comes around and hurts rebuilding efforts. The old movie theatre was donated to the 2 churches that share Oakland Beach Saint Ritas and First Congregational Church on Oakland Beach Avenue as long as It remained a community center named The JONAH center of Oalkland Beach. What OB didnt need was another hurriciane hitting the small cottage village and they never really recovered to what it pnce was. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/canwekeepitreal/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/canwekeepitreal/support
