tears are running from my eyes. as a young boy i would escape to coney to go to steeplechase for a fun day. i rode the horses around the steeple and by the parachute and carousel. if you want to see a great flick go get, the little fugitive, its coney in my time.

The Little Fugitive is fantastic. Great shot, never quite seen it from that angle, enjoyed the colors...it's supposed to go back into operation, no?

i dont know but i never went on it because i was afraid of height. but a few years later the army had me jumping out of helicopters.

coney in winter is all about shoot the freak.

there are 26 freaks working there, and they make an avg of $150 a night.

tho of course we mustn't forget the plain quietly warped, like this guy:

wearing a girl's coat as a headdress, fishing off the pier, a hundred feet inland, smiling.

My dad is the one that rides with the little fugitive. He worked the Parachute drop back in they day and they needed someone to ride with him.

it was nice back then when steeplechase park and the parachute lifted up its customers to drop them back down again, stood there and watched many times as a young boy, grabbing for the rings on one ride, then going to kiddieland and getting on the rides.........sadly those days are long, long gone, www.brooklynpix.com has the pictorial memory for us all
