We lived in shoreline CT during the 1980s and went to Coney a few times. By then, it had deteriorated - both physically and in terms of who hung around there. The impression was of visiting an amusement park in a nightmare. The hot dog contest at Nathan's Famous is alive and well: https://cititour.com/NYC_Events/2024-Nathans-Hot-Dog-Eating-Contest/22219

Sorry to hear that Coney is degraded - as is so much of our country now - we're pumping $$'s we do not HAVE into foreign conflicts and have NO WORRIES about the destruction of our roads, bridges and waterways! We have totally INEPT 'leadership' in the Federal sector!!

As is probably 45% of NYC and surrounding areas!! How ridiculous to "coddle" these "staged Hama protests" - they (the 'powers that be') are setting up our country for some very nasty 'events' this summer. I feel it in my heart and mind!!
