Gowanus Lounge Memorial Day Weekend Salute, Sunday Edition: Coney Island!

Sitting on Coney Island Boardwalk, originally uploaded by rsguskind.

Gowanus Lounge loves Coney Island, especially the ease of getting there on the F Train. Who cares if the water is more New York Harbor than Atlantic Ocean? For 2006, all of our favorite attractions--like Shoot the Freak and Cha Cha's--are back., saved from the wrecking ball of redevelopment by Thor Equities for another season. Sometime in June, the Parachute Jump should benefit from a new lighting system that's been installed. And, there's the Mermaid Parade on June 24. We don't need no steenking Southhampton. Surf's up!
