April 13, 2008 An early season visit to the playground that started it all, Coney Island and all of the remnants of the once great amusement area by the sea.
Astroland was spared for one more season in 2008, and looks a little the worse for wear.
1964-65 New York World's Fair Trash Can	The cabin has been parked midway up the tower for some time now
	These displays are on the midway walking towards the Wonder Wheel
The Wonder Wheel is a classic and is as much fun to watch as it is to ride
The original Nathan's Famous
The classic lines of the Parachute Jump are a sad reminder of the former greatness of Coney Island
	This amazing building is crumbling along the boardwalk, it's elaborate terra cotta decorations hint at the former glory that has been lost
