Cool Thing: Coney Island Development Map

The Coney Island History Project has done a major update of its website. In addition to adding a lot of excellent historic photos of Coney Island, it now has a development map of Coney Island showing major buildings or attractions including, in some case, historical views of the site. The History Project will be opening an Exhibition Space under the Cyclone at the end of May. The grand opening will be Thursday, May 31 and it will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11AM-7PM through Labor Day. The summer exhibition will be Land Grab: A History of Coney Island Development.
