Are you really from Coney Island, New York? My dad who was born in Manhattan, used to take us there as children........from New Jersey.
YES, seniorcitizen...... I was born in Coney Island - my parents moved away from there when I was around 4 years old. Then in my very early teens my girlfriend and I used to skip school and go to Coney Island for the day.
Those were some fun times !!! I'd love to visit CI again but I imagine it has changed in the last 55 years since I was there
