Coney Island Circus #1: Tent Displaces Demolition Equipment

We were going to make this a "Photo Du Jour," but it's way too on-topic not to merit a few extra words. This is the scene on the lot next to the Thor Equities site where the Cole Bothers Circus is set up through tomorrow. This is some of the demolition equipment that has been tooling around on the property since winter. We will simply note that it has not been withdrawn, only relocated to a holding pen of sorts to make room for the circus. There is concern in Coney circles that the Henderson's Building and Shore Hotel structure will be the next properties to be reduced to vacant lots surrounded by blue fencing after the current season. (Not to mention the premature closing and demolition of Astroland, which still appears to be on track.
