#454 Cavalcade of the Old West- Lucia Perillo
Two sister’s have a yearly tradition: they go to the pier for the carnival. It’s cheap, dirty and not aging well, but they go anyway. When
they were younger, their was a revue called the Cavalcade of the Old West. They
were fascinated by this show, but because of the insensitive and racist
portrayals of several of the characters, the show has long since been
cancelled.
Ginny is the younger, more responsible of the two and Stella
is definitely on the wild side. This has been a sore point between them over
the years. Stella drinking too young and too much, being loose with the
carnival workers and having now divorced several husbands, Ginny resents having
to be the adult for her older sister.
But, Stella lives her life without regret. “Here’s the
difference between you and me…you’d be embarrassed if you were me, but I’m
not.” Just like the old show, they hang on to their memories but it’s not like
it used to be.
