Gary, I agree with you about hubbie's comment re "on the roundabout". Hardly any traffic goes by and you don't have to sit by the roadside unless you want to people watch.
Have to say though, with a 4 year old to occupy and so little entertainment geared towards children in Altinkum (which really surprised me - lots of play areas in restaurants but there is only so many small slides and baby swings that will keep them happy) we enjoyed the luna park. So we are glad it was saved
What I don't understand is why the bars and restaurants do not encourage their customers to rate them on Trip Adviser, offer an incentive to return, try to get Advertorial in Voices or join this forum or others like it. There seems to be limited opportunities for them to promote their business other than walking trade (for example leaflets on the beach are banned) yet they miss the obvious opportunities and fail to think outside the box.
Right that's me off my soap box
