I liked the Hollywood Bar, think it was on Surf Avenue. The Cramps used to come here to buy cool, cheap, weird sunglasses. (I knew 'em then, Miriam was my pal.) This place was still fun in the '70s all the way up until the early '90s when I left NY finally for Europe. Very faded but still fascinating. I loved fishing off Emmons Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, and my French husband asked to visit here several times. He loved it, even the Cyclone! I tricked him into riding it. We screamed!

It looks like the films are 8 or super 8mm. I used to shoot both, all my pictures and movies of Coney Island and my time growing up there were lost in a flood. I lived in Luna Park buidling 5 from 1962-1987 our terrace which all 16 apts per floor shared would enjoy fireworks once a week, Schafer Beer sponsored them, if you wanted to see real magic Coney lit up at night was just that. I also had the pleasure as child to experience the INCREDIBLE STEEPLECHASE the Parachute Jump was operating.

I used to work for Stanley and his partner in Astroland, they had two games a poker game and the ball toss through a tire. Sounds easy but the game was harder than you think to play. I worked with Jerry Dannenberg, it was both our first in Coney Island as what was known as Common Show Attendents. The games made a lot of money for Stanly Minker and his partner Joe Rapps. Rapps was definitely not used to having a honest kid like me working for him, he constantly emptied my cash apron.
