Virginia State Police responded to an accident on Mount Pleasant Road shortly after 8-o-clock last night, when they found a Hyundai sedan turned over in an embankment. Troopers then found a pickup truck a short distance away. A man came out of the woods and told them he and his father had run away from the accident, and that his father had suffered a heart attack in the woods. Troopers then found the body of 65-year-old Simon -J- Cox. Even though State Police believe Cox was driving the pickup at the time of the accident, charges could be pending.

[OUT Q=IT'S CALLED LAKESIDE]
[general 1970s Lakeside best pics] The Roanoke Valley's premiere amusement park amused - entertained - and thrilled thousands of people - for 66 years.

When Lakeside got its start in 1920... [swimming pool still photos from beginning of EXHIBIT tape -- 11:58:55 -- include opening day photo! and wide swimming pool shot at TC -- 11:59:36 ] the main attraction was a 300-foot long, 2-MILLION gallon swimming pool... Its owners claimed it was the largest swimming pool in the world. But the pool closed in the 1960s... a turbulent time across the South. The timing fueled presumptions about whether desegregation had something to do with the closing.

[1968 shooting star footage from LAKESIDE TAPE TC 2:20:35-ish] As the pool was closed - Lakeside turned its attention to a new centerpiece... The roller coaster which stood in the park since opening day was replaced with the hi-tech - pricey "Shooting Star". [closeup of people on coaster's opening day from LAKESIDE TAPE TC 2:20:04] A host of Roanoke Valley notables hopped on for the ride as the Shooting Star made its first run in May of 1968.

[generic 80s cover from TAPE 85-176 about halfway through tape] The amusement park that was one of few to survive the Depression could NOT survive the continued struggles of the 80s - with increased competition, fewer visitors, and falling profits. And just months before Lakeside's ultimate demise - [scene pics of accident from TAPE 86-62 5/9/86] a maintenance worker was killed while the Shooting Star was on a test run. Lakeside closed for good with the end of the season in 1986... [best pics generic exhibit cover from EXHIBIT TAPE around 12:00:36, 12:01:37, 12:00:54] So why revive it in an exhibit?

((THEY'RE CERTAINLY RIDICULOUS AND THEY MAY SEEM RIDICULOUSLY BIG TO YOU, BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT VIRGINIA'S STATE RECORD IS ABOUT THREE POUNDS HEAVIER... BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.))
[runs= 18]

The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is in on the act, putting the "real" in rod and reel, with the only fish they claim is anatomically correct.
You be the judge.
The actual fish have made a resurgence in Virginia's waterways, including the James River ... and it's a point of pride for the city that has NOT gone unnoticed.
[sot tape 16:24:00 ]
((You're from North Dakota. What does it make you think of Richmond? KELLY KRIEG: UM, I DON'T KNOW. IT JUST BRINGS OUT THE RIVER, HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO THEM AND EVERYTHING.))

So the fish will be around the city until September, when they head off to the highest bidders.
Until then, they're tempted by the water, but stuck on their stands for all to see.
