Coney Island Baby This is a song from Lou Reed's album Coney Island baby enjoy... You know, man, when I was a young man in high school You believe in or not I wanted to play football for the coach And all those older guys They said he was mean and cruel, but you know Wanted to play football for the coach They said I was to little too light weight to play line-backer So I say Im playing right-end Wanted to play football for the coach cause, you know some day, man You gotta stand up straight unless youre gonna fall Then youre gone to die And the straightest dude I ever knew was standing right for me all the time So I had to play football for the coach And I wanted to play football for the coach When youre all alone and lonely In your midnight hour And you find that your soul Its been up for sale And you begin to think bout All the things that youve done And you begin to hate Just bout everything But remember the princess who lived on the hill Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong And right now she just might come shining through And the - - glory of love, glory of love Glory of love, just might come through And all your two-bit friends Have gone and ripped you off Theyre talking behind your back saying, man Youre never going to be no human being And you start thinking again bout all those things that youve done And who it was and what it was And all the different things you made every different scene Ahhh, but remember that the city is a funny place Something like a circus or a sewer And just remember different people have peculiar tastes And the - - glory of love, the glory of love The glory of love, might see you through Yeah, but now, now Glory of love, the glory of love The glory of love, might see you through Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love Glory of love, glory of love Glory of love, now, glory of love, now Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through Oh, my coney island baby, now (Im a coney island baby, now) Id like to send this one out for lou and rachel And all the kids and p.s. 192 Coney island baby Man, Id swear, Id give the whole thing up for you Tags: Lou Reed punk velvet underground coney island baby 70s rock roll boobs OJ michael vick |

Coney Island of the 1940's Coney Island, "the place where merriment is king!" Take a trip back in time 50 years before the Mermaid Parade. See masses of old school New Yorkers beat the heat by hitting the beach. See Side Shows! Carnies! Freaks! Thrill rides! Includes the original Coney Island Hot Dog, the Bathing Girl Review, and people getting sick on rides.

Coney Island's Amusement Park to Close - VOA Story New York's Coney Island is one of the Big Apple's most visited attractions. Its beach, boardwalk and amusement park have been attracting visitors for more than a century. But its largest theme park -- Astroland -- is set to close at the end of the summer season to make way for a $250 million re-development project. All the fun of the fair: Coney Island's Astroland is about as far from the glitz and glamour of the modern day theme park as you can get. The Cyclone roller coaster first opened back in 1926. Like it, Coney Island and much of the surrounding area has been in decline for many years. This corner of Brooklyn was America's first resort attraction, bringing in millions of New Yorkers right through the 1960s. Then fires, bankruptcies and urban decay set in. But now there are plans to restore that lustre. Drwaings show artists' impressions of a Coney Island for the 21st century. It is part of a $2 billion makeover that will turn Coney Island into a world-class theme park. But the plans also envisage big hotels, condominiums, and apartments, far from what Coney Island feels like today. Carol Albert and her family have owned Astroland for the past 45 years, but they recently sold it to real estate developer Thor Equities. And so, reluctantly, they will close the park at the end of this summer. "We thought as we can't develop it and since he has now bought up everything but two blocks we were going to be surrounded by demolition and construction," says Albert. "We really thought we would lose most of our business." Many who have grown up in this section of Brooklyn want to preserve the family feel of Coney Island. It is easily accessible by subway. The rides are cheap and there is no entrance fee to the park. Stan Fox is a Brooklyn resident and local historian. "You can spend a dollar, a hundred dollars or nothing if you just want to walk the boardwalk, just bring a bottle of water with you and you can have a great time," says Fox. The five kilometer-long beach, just a subway ride from Manhattan, is still a magnet for tourists in the summer, but in the winter less so. Municipal authorities want a year-round attraction. Vendor Paul Georgoulakos has worked here since emigrating from Greece, and he says the time is right to restore glory to this faded icon. "Coney Island, you know it was the dream of the whole world in those days, and now," he says shrugging, "it got smaller and they try to build it back again." Currently Thor Equities is in negotiations with the city and neighborhood groups to reduce the number of apartments and condominiums the developer wants to build. But those, like Carole Albert, who have spent their lives here want New Yorkers to have a Coney Island they still recognize as their own. "This is New York after all. New Yorkers are tough. They can hang on to what they like. They want this boardwalk, they want this beach and they want it to be a democratic event and we all hope it will continue to be so."
