Coney Island RIP?
yes, that part will go, some "grungy" parts will remain but my grandchildren will not see what I fisrt saw there in the 80's.....i look forward to some of the change though
Latest is they’re looking to relocate Astroland nearby. My favorite CI memory is of a rock show with a lot of the old EV/LES crowd back when they started the retro-sideshow scene. There were crazy lightning storms that night and people were standing around on the bleak beach in the lurid light with their hair standing straight up in the ionized air.
Nowadays I take the train to Coney Island then walk 10 minutes back to Calvert Vaux Park at the mouth of CI Creek, where you can watch a heap-o’-humpin’ Horseshoe Crabs.
Our childhood future is now passé but the 300 million year old thing goes on…
get to the mermaid parade this year
next we hear they are considering a plan to pack up Astroland and send it to Las Vegas...put it next to CBGB
heres. another great article on the subject

I remember that night. Unsure of whether it was safer on the beach or under the metal awnings of the boardwalk, the hair on our arms standing up.
