I'm from Brooklyn and my parents and grandparents always bragged about Coney! I'm old enough to remember it's years of devastating blight. Gentrification is the savior of Coney today. How can suburban, artistic transplants not be moved by this place? We, as locals, have to accept that such renewal also means high prices for what were once cheap working class thrills!
@Jpsleeks I can't really remember. I Know that i got some of the footage by ripping it off youtube through the website zamzar. I think i just googled Coney island footage or something like that and used it. There was an old documentary on it and i just used the video from that. But i can't remember what it's called. Sorry!
My critisism is that this is too short and I didn't really learn anything. Nice old footage though.
