I picked up the West Valley View yesterday and saw the nice article about the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium. It brought back memories of when I was a kid and used to go to the Phoenix Zoo and Legend City. For those who weren’t around yet, Legend City was Arizona’s own amusement park with rides and games, kind of a small Seven Flags, but maybe with just one flag…
