I used to live near this…
…once held the record for “Largest Building Imploded”.

The Old Man of the Mountain, the state symbol of New Hampshire, fell down in 2003. That doesn’t stop them from still using it on state signs, stationary and license plates. Every once in a while somebody proposes building a replica to hang on the cliff where it used to be, but it never goes anywhere.
I come from South Omaha, Nebraska. This takes up about a quarter of the city and has a unique cultural identity.
Three of the major icons of our neighborhood are now gone:
Falstaff Brewery closed. I do not know if the beer was more than just a regional brew, but they were a major job provider for the neighborhood. It is gone
The Stockyards closed. Omaha was once the largest meat packing city in the country, and the Stockyards received all of the livestock that fed into this meat processing machine.
Rosenblatt Stadium closed: This was the longtime venue for the College Baseball World Series. The event has been moved to the new stadium downtown, but it is not quiet the same…
Astroworld in Houston.
I know a lot of amusement parks close. But when Astroworld closed, it was disappeared like some Communist leader that had fallen out of favor. Here’s what the park looked like when it was operating and here’s the same site after it closed. They closed the park and tore down and removed everything right down to the dirt. It was like the park had been erased.
My dad drank Falstaff when I was a kid in Southern California.
The California Grizzly Bear depicted on our state flag went extinct in the 1920s.
Then we sent it to him ;o)
On the other side of this question is the Rotella Bakery. When I was growing up, they were a small neighborhood bakery. We bought all of our bread fresh and warm from their oven. They are a huge factory now and send bread all over the country. It is still the only bread in my house, but I miss the old style, crusty Italian Twist bread
Chicago no longer has Kiddieland. 
Phoenix no longer has Legend City.
My hair.
Castroworld?
Falstaff wasn’t a reference to Shakespeare’s Henry IV, was it?
Frontier Village, San Jose.
Hanson’s Park, Rocky Glen, Nay Aug – lots of closed amusement parks back in the old stomping grounds. And lots like West View, Rainbow Gardens and others around me now. And I miss every last one for the memories they generated.
Buck up, laddie, you still have Kennywood! 
I have lived in the area since 1987 and never heard of Legend City. According to the location given on Wikipedia I was at the site less than a month ago and never even knew it
Yes:
Freedomland in the Bronx is now the site of a shopping mall.
Palisades Amusement Park on top of the New Jersey Palisades.
Steeplechase Park in Coney Island.
Boblo Island Amusement Park in Amhurstburg, Ontario was a popular amusement park for the Detroit area until it closed in 1993. Just the ride over on the ferry was fun, before you even got the the amusement park itself.
The island is still there, of course, but now the northern end is full of high end housing (really high end, rich people stuff) and the southern end is forrested parkland, that theoretically will be developed with more McMansions in the future.
