Saying Goodbye to an Icon







Having never seen Coney Island in its heyday, I can't really feel the loss as much as some. As my son and I were walking around a few years ago, we did get a little taste of how folks are feeling. It has reopened with new rides, along with a few of the classics, but I think that the carney-feel is missing. There is the sense that a few characters and icons will be missed.  Here are a some pictures that hopefully, capture a bit of what people love(d) about the place.
