Last Ride

Today's am new york says it all: Last Ride

They've finally made the decision to close Astroland Park, effective Sunday. It's such a part of my childhood, but it's also hugely symptomatic of the changing face of Coney Island and Brooklyn as a whole. While I didn't spend as much time as others, I can't imagine explaining the context of Coney Island without Astroland Park, although the Cyclone will remain.
