Coney Boardwalk Repairs Resume For Winter

As our good friend, Rubys Host, brings us, fences are going back up on the Coney Island Boardwalk from the Stillwell Bathhouse to Gregory & Paul's (which is now run by Paul's daughter). They have even snug a fence in the sand and have removed most of the benches. The railings are next to go in preparation for the continuation of the repairs on that part of the boardwalk. The light posts are to remain as they work around them.

Rubys Host points out that Cha Cha's is still open on weekends and the Polar Bear Swims have started for the '09/'10 season.

Flickr Convoy: Nathan's Burning Dusk

Towards the end of June a clammy warm Friday night must of felt like a perfect time at dusk for a warm roasted dog in a bun as the sun sets on this post equinox Coney evening.

Dried Lemons On The Boardwalk

The squeezy lemon shop that Thor Equities allowed to squeeze out genuine Coney flavor; Lola Staar had apparently been dried up with nothing to squeeze on the boardwalk. Word via our friend Rubys Host, tells us that the lemonade shop is no longer there. Or at least were no signs of them the entire weekend. She also adds, "Rumor has it that the Coney Island Beach Shop has a spot in the Stillwell Station and will open this fall".

On another Stillwell Station storefronts: The Subways sandwich shop which was closed for refurbishing is almost set to open...whoo wee! Let's hope these little franchises stay north of Surf Avenue.
