Astroland #1: Protest, Rides & Reporters Today

Today is Astroland's closing day. The park opens at Noon and a demonstration calling on Thor Equities to keep the park open for another year is scheduled to start at the time. There will be Mariachis on the boardwalk from 4PM-6PM and the Hungry March Band will play at 6PM. Expect a crowd and reporters. Come down and catch a taste of Brooklyn history.
