Coney Island...

I won't be blogging for the next few days as I want to check out Coney Island before it is completely obliterated. See "New York's Famous," from Preservation Magazine.

However, according to "Paving over fun" from the New York Times:

... Mr. Sitt’s $1.5 billion plan to create some sort of enclosed, multimedia 21st-century amusement park, complete with time-sharing hotels, [is] “dead in the water.”

Still, it should be fun.
