Lincoln, Nebraska State Journal, 09-September-1948

In September 1923, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus, the Greatest Show on Earth, played for one night only in Lincoln, Nebraska. I don't think I have seen the word "arenic" before.

Terrific New 1948 Edition -- August 26, 2023

San Francisco Examiner, 31-August-1948

In August 1948, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. the Greatest Show on Earth, played its San Francisco shows across the line in Daly City, at the enormous Cow Palace, which had opened in 1941. I remember people talking about the animals parading from the Southern Pacific yards up Geneva Avenue to the Cow Palace. My parents took us to see the circus at the Cow Palace several times. 

Chariots and Charioteers -- July 19, 2017

I'm still in shock about the conclusion of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus last month.  One of its major components was the Ringling Brothers circus. My parents had a reprint of this poster on the basement wall.  It was in a program from the circus that celebrated some anniversary. 

Ringling Brothers, RIP -- May 21, 2017

Tonight the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. the Greatest Show on Earth, will hold its final performance at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York. My parents took me and my sister every year to see the circus at the Cow Palace. I can still smell it.
