Coney Island Mermaid Parade

(Mermaid Parade – 6-19-10) I’ve never been to this parade, but it looks like a lot of fun. I probably should go to this type of stuff and post my own photos and videos.  (Mermaid Photos – uncredited) Related posts: Episode Six – May 2009 (Coney Magic) Ghost Breath of Coney Island Photos: Various Coney [...]

Luna Park “Test Run”

  (Luna Park - sign test) I’m very excited about this little park. I’d love to see Coney Island become a hot spot once again. This is a start in the right direction. Condos were the alternative. One of my earliest memories as a kid of Coney Island is driving along Surf Ave and checking out the [...]

Seagulls of Coney Island

(Photos by Joe) I wish I had a recording of these birds. It sounded like they were in a frenzy.

Coney Island Parachute Jump

(Photos by Joe) Here are a few photos of the Coney Island Parachute Jump. None were from the boardwalk, because the sun was too bright. There’s also a few of MCU Park, formerly Keyspan Park, where the Brooklyn Cyclones play. They are the Mets’ Single A club. There are also two pics of Abe Stark Ice Skating Rink. My high school [...]

New Luna Park Construction & Cyclone Photos

(New Luna Park Construction - Photos by Joe) I took these photos today of the new Luna Park, which they hope to open in just under four weeks on Memorial Day. They are supposedly working 24/7 to see the project to completion. There is also one photo from the boardwalk of a tract of land on Kensington Walk and Surf [...]

Virtual Tour of the New Luna Park!

The rides are being tested in Vicenza, Italy and shipped over here one piece at a time. Just kidding kiddie poohs . They are coming here in parts. Coney [...]

Coney Island’s Blowhole Theater

(The Steeplechase and the Blowhole Theater) I love this clip! To me it represents Coney Island’s zenith caught on film. If I could go back in time I’d visit with George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Jesus, Einstein, and Henry V. Miller. Then I’d zip over to Coney Island, ride the Steeplechase, and afterwards, file into the Blowhole Theater for an electric jolt by a clown and a [...]

South Beach in Staten Island

(Photos by Bald Punk) I took these photos a few weeks back. We had just passed a beautiful fountain made with life-size dolphins on Father Capodanno Boulevard. It must have cost the City a bundle. My lady friend had asked if I wanted to stop and photo it, but I was too slow to answer. So a block later when we did [...]
