^ Also one of mine. A personal addition...Coney Island, Brooklyn

Quote:
“Vision 2020 is a blueprint for the next 10 years and beyond that will change the way New Yorkers live for generations to come,”
Amanda Burden, the director of the Department of City Planning, said in October at a public hearing on the report’s recommendations.
She said that the goal was for the water to become the “sixth borough.”

“The water should become a part of our everyday lives,” Ms. Burden declared.

And what better place to bring home that point than iconic Coney Island, most famous of all the city shorefronts.

NOVEMBER 13, 2010

It was a nice springlike November day (we don't say that often), so I decided to check out the goings at Coney. The amusements have closed for the season,
but the boardwalk still serves as a draw. Also it was the last opening for a few of the boardwalk businesses, and one last grab at summer.

Some fun in the water...(no single clip)
