So I went to Coney island over the weekend, something I haven't done in a while. Before last year I don't think I've been since I was a child and after this weekend, I don't know why.
it is totally fun. They don't have many rides that last longer than 2 minutes but when you're there with your friends you have an absolute blast. Who knows, maybe its the company but it all took me back to when I was 13 with my family, riding on my dad's shoulders while mommi bought popcorn for me and my brother Russell. Driving past the outside of Astroland Park in the Mark VII knowing you'll be there in a matter of moments, staring in anticipation at the lights, noise and visions of cotton candy running through my head.
Yes, I've spoken a lot of garbage about Coney over the years, but I just didn't understand. I didn't appreciate its beauty, its boardwalk. How full the moon looks at night and how time can just pass you by in a place so freeing.
