Disgruntled Cow on Manhattan

This weekend I got to spend some time photographing Scott Witter's publicity drive for the Admirals Row Public Hearing. More details, and pictures, will follow. In the meantime visit www.brooklynsothermuseumofbrooklyn.com for information, and here for some pictures of the museum.

Coney Island: Last Day for Astroland

Sunday was set to be the last day ever for Astroland. Thor Equities are keen to flatten the site so they can get on with their plans to build time-shares. As Gowanus Lounge puts it: "Our sadness isn't so much that Astroland is going, but that it may be going long before its replacement comes along. Next year, if developer Joe Sitt uses the land as a bargaining chip to pressure the city or exacts revenge for a rejected plan or evicts the former owners because he couldn't squeeze an extra $500,000 in rent from site, the vacant land surrounded by a blue wall of plywood will sit as a dagger through the heart of one of the most diverse destinations in all of Brooklyn."

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.
