Coney Island 2007

This past
summer we took what has become our annual summer trek
to Coney Island with
Olivia and our friends Rich &
Shannon. Rich
& I rode the Cyclone;
Shannon & Olivia joined us on the
Wonder Wheel; Olivia
rode lots of rides at Deno's; we
"lunched" at Totonno's and of
course we went to Astroland.
Astroland's property was bought by a developer,
and after it closed this
fall, it may
never reopen. The developer wants to build
something much slicker and sterile than the
current version of Coney Island. Although there
is still hope for Coney
Island, when
big business and big real estate comes a-callin,
it never looks good.
