I love Coney Island.
Recently I heard that this upcoming season will be the last for the old rides and concessions.
It’s to be brought up to date.

I want to visit it one more time.
I want to sit on the boardwalk.
I want to eat greasy hot dogs with even greasier crinkle cut fries.
I want one more banana custard please.
I want to go on a few of the rides.
I might even leave my fear of heights home that day, and ride them all.
I want to see it, smell it and be part of it one more time, before it’s sanitized, plasticized and exudes that corporate glow.
