Too bad. Another old tradition dead. Maybe, some group will take an interest and buy the Circus!

I'll buy it. How much they want? I've always love the acrobats not so much any cruel treatment of animals. But I liked seeing them too

I always thought the elephant was the main attraction. We saw them the last year before they got canned. I hate change. Where are all the pissed off kids gonna go when they run away now? Can't join the circus.

Not a fan of circuses, personally.

I think in this day and age, there are so many other forms of entertainment that it was pretty absurd to think something like that could survive.

I saw they were blaming it on not enslaving and torturing elephants anymore, like they were doing great before that.

Maybe as a kid I loved circuses but not so much as an adult.

There is another bigger and better circus in town now that no one can compete with

Shame to see it go.

In the 70's in the NYC area the Circus was in town for 6 weeks in the winter.
2 weeks out on Long island
2 weeks in NYC.
2 weeks in Jersey.

I guess the internet and all the tech innovations, plus other things to do, caused it to end.
