Astroland

Summer '07 marks the final season for Astroland, home of the world-famous Cyclone. Luckily, the woodie is here to stay. (And I would literally chain my bod to the brakehouse if any bulldozers dared to advance!)

Coney Island is my second-favorite place on Earth. Topographical changes were inevitable, but I pray the place still retains some of that wistful, shambolic, salt-and-vinegar charm. Somehow.

(Thanks to my lovely friend Paula for the photo, and the day.)
