Comments on: Coney Island & Entertainment /2007/12/20/coney-island-entertainment/ Technology blog of the Brooklyn Museum Fri, 04 Apr 2014 18:30:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.3 By: Ken Gordon /2007/12/20/coney-island-entertainment/comment-page-1/#comment-144 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:19:58 +0000 /bloggers/2007/12/20/coney-island-entertainment/#comment-144 I had the opportunity, and pleasure, to accompany Marguerite Vigliante and Patrick Amsellem for an afternoon visit to Coney Island last summer. They were then in the midst of planning the details of the “Goodbye, Coney Island?” exhibit and, I assumed, felt it essential for the exhibit to visit Coney in person, to breathe in it’s air and history while, of course, savoring a delightful Coney Island lunch.
I thank and congratulate Patrick and Marguerite for this show, and the chance to remember, or actually learn about, Coney’s one-of-a-kind and indelible history as a physical, visual, and Brooklyn experience, while hoping for a Coney Island future that allows us all to still visit and enjoy it in person, and not just through historic photographs.
