Dick Zigun Explains his position

Here is Zigun's fairly comprehensive opinion on the current development controversy.

Opening Day

"Coney Island is about a person's capacity for fun, not their credit line."
Tigger at the Save Coney Island protest.

Well Coney Island lived up to it's promises, the Cyclone rattled my brains, the organ grinders thrilled my ears. Photos soon to come.

New developments- The Hot Piano Society, a new group started by Todd Robbins will be meeting the first Saturday of each month. If you are interested in playing ragtime, stride, boogie woogie and traditional jazz piano. First meeting April 7th at 1 pm, 1208 Surf Avenue.
