When it came ...I gotta really hand it to Bloomberg. When it came down to crunch time he got through bigtime year round zoning for Coney East, North, and West.<br /><br />They zoned a new city. 4500 units unbelievable. I would not be surprised if Taconic becomes interested in the hotels in Coney East as well. Everybody in development has to be talking to everybody else after rezoning. It's only natural.ConeyRockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549217132647347516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30629984.post-3928480968367557162009-08-04T14:45:21.405-04:002009-08-04T14:45:21.405-04:00I can't wait until the next Mermaid Parade Oma...I can't wait until the next Mermaid Parade Omar!

As you yourself probably know, images have a way of getting picked up and disseminated, usually out of context.<br /><br />Blame my catty photoshopping comment on a visceral reaction to seeing a photo of an event that took enormous effort to organize chopped up into a (fairly misleading) collage.<br /><br />Hope to see you at the next Save Coney event, where ever it may be!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809388034455532482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30629984.post-63347658309604597412009-08-04T11:11:40.557-04:002009-08-04T11:11:40.557-04:00Hillary E:

Because I don't want to attack the people who are making a great effort to save Coney Island.<br /><br />However, I think it is fair to say that too many of these Coney events are held outside of Coney Island. True, that there aren't many places in Coney Island to hold them but it would help to keep events in Coney. But this is not a major issue, anyway. I just wish more vibrant events were held in Coney.<br /><br />And I'm sorry my graphics are 101 for you, but they're not meant to be elaborate.Omar Robauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873064144025970863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30629984.post-59991263163681073482009-08-04T09:06:55.619-04:002009-08-04T09:06:55.619-04:00Reality check: it is *really* difficult to get vol...Reality check: it is *really* difficult to get volunteers out to an organizing meeting, regardless of where/when. In my short time of volunteering with them, Save Coney Island has had petition drives, call-ins, meetings, rallies, and more, across the *entire* borough-- and yes, including Coney Island. Instead of working to misrepresent the folks (Coney residents and non-residents alike) who are speaking out against the plan (which you yourself seem to agree is disastrous), why not stick to the productive? And if you've got some suggestions, share them with the organizers instead of wielding your Photoshop 101 skills against them. It's Bloomberg, Sitt, and the other usual suspects who deserve the snark.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809388034455532482noreply@blogger.com
