Astroland: Please Thor, One More Year

Help try and save this... It's hard to believe, but Astroland at Coney Island could close forever this Sunday, September 9th. Thor Equities have purchased the area for development and want to get on with turning it to dust. But...there's also a high-noon demonstration on Sunday for a last-minute reprieve. You can sign an online petition at www.saveastroland.com. Thank you G-Lounge for the tip. ...from this.

Sitt and Thinkwell: The Future of Coney Island Presentation

Joe Sitt (Thor Equities) teamed up with Thinkwell Design to share their Coney Island vision with residents. The United Community Baptist Church was full beyond capacity and so not everyone had their questions answered. It did help, though, if Mr Sitt or the chap with the mic already knew your name. Crowd pleasers: Videos of theme park rides, promises of jobs and careers, and free rides for kids with grade improvements. In-depth coverage here.
