"The group is about documenting Coney Islands changing environment through photography and sharing information on classes and events at Coney Island. I hope this group will help save the history of Coney Island and of Brooklyn. Members can post as many photos as they like.This is a history project for all."
(text from the group page)
the full masterplan is available from the coney island development corporation. it's a shame that the powers that be wouldn't leave things along and had to pursue the bassproshop retail/entertainment disneyfication/vegasing of public spaces... but then I'm just a hired gun and didn't make any decisions...
ugggggggg!
