Five years ago, I was walking from the train station to work when I and several other people noticed the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey train leaving the city for the last time ever. I was never a big circus fan, but it was sad to see the end of something so etched in our history. I'm glad to hear it's coming back in a more modernized form, especially without the animals.
