This weekend is your last chance to ride the carousel at the Balboa Fun Zone--it's been sold down the 405 Freeway. The owner sold the 1951 ride on eBay (he listed it at $149,999 with a discount for locals) and says it'll be going about 15 miles down the 405 from Newport Beach, but won't say exactly where until the paperwork's done. On the bright side, rides are five cents on Saturday, the Fun Zone's seventy-fifth anniversary. [Daily Pilot, image via]
