There is a distinct way to life growing up in Brooklyn, and Coney Island being part of it is an understatement. The doors to the Amusement life that was Coney Island, finally closed this past August. Losing Coney Island the way it was is definitely going to be an impact to the generations that experienced it through its better years, including myself, where much of my childhood was spent.
“I can hear the Atlantic echo back roller coaster screams from summers past. And everything was closed at Coney Island, and I could not help from smiling. Brooklyn will fill in the beach eventually and everyone will go except me.” – Coney Island, Death Cab for Cutie.
