RIP Astroland

It all begins. Good Bye Coney Island.

The Astroland Rocket sat on top of Gregory and Paul’s restaurant since the 1970's and in just a few moments a crane lifts the 71 ft , 6 ton aluminum mascot and whisks this piece of history away. This is just the beginning of the end of "old" Coney Island. It truly breaks my heart.



Ugh. Gross. I am so glad that my daughter spent many of her first summer days in the real Coney Island.
