	Coney Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coney Island is a peninsula and former island of southernmost Brooklyn, New York City, USA, with a famous beach lying on the Atlantic Ocean.
		In Coney Island's lowest years there was some incremental improvement in relatively small areas, notably the preservation and later the expansion of what had been the rides area at the back of the Feltman's property as Astroland.
		The main beach area, extended from Coney Island Avenue in Brighton Beach westward to West 37th Street at the border of Sea Gate, is divided into "bays," areas of beach delineated by rock jetties, which moderate erosion and the force of ocean waves.

		Inspired by Coney Island's storied history of sideshows, stilt-walkers and fire-eaters, Zigun and his pals set about developing their own arts community and soon formed Coney Island USA, a nonprofit aimed at maintaining the area's quirky traits.
		The procession originated with Coney Island USA's idea to "take over the neighborhood one day a year and make it splashy," and it still attracts around a thousand marchers and nearly half a million spectators.
		Zigun says the celebration is the biggest strain on Coney Island USA's small budget, but it's "gone through growing pains without becoming corporate." Still, a controversy was sparked last year when the parade used the new Keyspan Park stadium for part of the event.

		Veteran photographer Harvey Stein sees Coney Island, New York, as an "oasis of decay, funkiness, hope and joy, uninhibited behavior, and visual stimulation." After an initial enchanting visit to the island as an adolescent, Stein has returned there countless times with his camera.
		For this book of photographs, he turns his lens on Coney Island's amusements--the neon-ringed Wonder Wheel and famous Cyclone roller coaster--and the boardwalk, where lovers cavort and an elderly man leans against a graffiti-littered wall, holding a reflector under his chin to catch the sun's rays.
		There is a time line in the front of the book that documents fascinating trivia about Coney Island such as the date of the frankfurter debut and the opening of its first roller coaster, but the photos are the star attractions.

		Born in 1953 and raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the hometown of P.T. Barnum, Dick Zigun was aware of American show-business culture from an early age.
		As Zigun tells it, he was standing on the amusement pier there when he had his epiphany: rather than putting on plays in the rarefied atmosphere of Soho lofts, he could merge his dramatic interests with the tradition of the neighborhood in which he lived.
		In 1985 Coney Island USA opened Sideshows by the Seashore, and Zigun has been producing it ever since.

		This 50s film about Coney Island is also full of historical footage of the amusement park in its heyday, but presented with an arty and disturbing spin.
		I think this was all supposed to make a Serious Statement about amusement park culture, but I'm not sure what that statement is.

		Zigun said his goal is for Coney to be the "capital of the weird again." Dick and all of the acts at Sideshows by the Seashore have worked diligently to make sure that the art of Coney Island has survived along with the past.
		Probably the most historically significant event the premises hold is a summer-long series called "Ask the Experts." Here people who know about Coney's past, present and future sit down and share their thoughts and unique tidbits about the island with an audience.
