Coney Island

Back in October when the weather was a lot more pleasant, we took a train to the end of the N line and found ourselves in Coney Island. 

Coney Island used to be the biggest amusement area in America and a trendy seaside resort in the first half of the 20th century, but it started declining in popularity after World War II and fell to years of neglect.  

Andrew had never been himself, and he didn't even know it was still running. The area had clearly seen better days, but there was still a good crowd of young families, local dwellers and tourists  alike enjoying themselves. 

We didn't do much except wander around taking photos and ate our ice-creams while walking along the boardwalk, but what I wouldn't give for that weather again!
