Back to Coney Island

I am happy to report that since my last visit to Coney Island, which I will admit was several years ago, there has been good news for those who believe in retaining the great landmarks of the past, and not just as memorials but as living, breathing places for visitors to enjoy.

Coney Island on My Mind

Jan 07, 10 Coney Island on My Mind

Posted by in Uncategorized

As I am a Brighton Beach native, I spent more time in Coney Island perhaps than most.  Even so, I never went for a ride on the Cyclone, or the Parachute Jump. It’s just not my style.

Sep 20, 09 New Yorkers Looking for Refuge

Posted by in Uncategorized

As the economic climate has shown, New York is not always the most stable place in the US. More and more people are looking for alternatives for vacation or even relocation. We were therefore not shocked to learn that a large Austin Condos project was reaching out to local advertising venues in the New York area to offer their...
