I've heard so many stories from my fam, (many of whom are from Brooklyn & some who still reside there), but in all the times I've been to the city, Coney Island hasn't made the cut! There are some fab shots of it. A personal fave is the one of "The Whole Darnd Family" I LOL at that one. But seriously, you've taken some perfect snippets of it.
