Roosevelt Zoo Charges Admission
Music City – Located in the Town & Country Center, Music City was still selling
albums in the mid to late 1970’s …. Some of the popular artists included Kiss,
Lobo, Waylon Jennings, Jefferson Starship and Rupert Holmes…. Albums priced as
low as $4.99 and tapes as low as $5.99 (I believe these were cassette tapes,
now a thing of the past)… CD’s had yet to become popular Roosevelt Zoo 1979 – In December of 1979 the Minot Park Board voted to
charge admission to the Roosevelt Zoo. At the public hearing only four people
appeared. Two in opposition to the fee and 4 in favor. The Chamber of Commerce
and the Jaycees both spoke in favor of charging the fee.
