Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome
The amusement business was expected to see a great surge with the return of the country's military personnel and a general feeling of national pride.With the closure of the Venice Pier reducing his competition, he relocated his Venice-based carousel into the old Looff Hippodrome.Over the next several decades the city of Santa Monica proposed various plans to tear down Newcomb Pier, and with it the Hippodrome.The city council approved a plan to replace the pier with a resort island in Santa Monica Bay.Local activists formed Save Santa Monica Bay and shot down that plan,[9] and in 1973 the city formally revoked a standing order to demolish the pier.
