More on the closing of Coney Island.

It looks like even Coney Island (which, in the past few years had seemed content with to be a seedy homage to the past) is caught up in the battle of how to move toward the future while doing justice to it's history.

I am nostalgic for the Coney Island of my dreams even though nothing like it has ever existed in my lifetime, while at the same time being a little weary of how this remodel is going to change it.

Change comes fast and hard to a city that never sleep and even well loved relics by the sea are not exempt from the force of the future.
