I disagree that this is Coney Island's last year: that is silly. The area is simply being revitalized, as it is completely run down and beat up. The place needs a face lift and the new Coney Island will probably put the place back on the map again. I went there lately and it wasn't anything special at all. I am looking forward to the new version of Coney Island. It's time for change.

I would alway remember, breath, live Coney Island. I recently moved, and the thought of Coney Island and the remaking of it made me sad but I know it will be for the better. Change is good! But I will always visit and support my hometown.

Coney Island Beach! by: Anonymous
I've heard and seen too much of Coney island not to go! Thank you for the reminder, Roy, I can't WAIT. The first thing I'll bite into is of course, the famous hotdogs!

Amazing Coincidence by: Nori
Roy, what an amazing coincidence! We spent two weeks this past July and went to Coney Island for a music festival. I must admit, I guess you had to have visited it in the 60s as a child many times with your parents to have that nostalgia. The beach was every bit as crowded and the rides and games just didn't measure up to the ones from THIS millennium. :-) But my Mom and Dad, who I suspect are closer to your age, waxed poetic about how it had NOT changed since they first visited it almost 30 years ago. I'm going to show them your page about "Corny" Coney Island. Thank you SO MUCH for writing! Nori

Another One From The City Who'll Miss It! by: Veronica Till
Roy,
What an unexpected choice. But you're right. Coney Island is/was a very special place to millions. Take away the people and the beach ranks right up there with any of them. But, of course, why would you want to take away the people? R.I.P. Ronnie
