Astroland At Coney Island

Astroland is a an amusement park at Coney Island that has all sorts of rides and games that you’d find at a traveling fair, except that they’re permanent. Sort of. The park has been sold to developers and it’s unclear what’s going to happen, but it seems there will be some housing and stuff built and that the rides will be sold off. I think this year or next year will be the last year for Astroland, so it was nice to see it before then.

Here are Yvan’s photos.

These photos were taken with my Rebel XTi and Yvan’s Canon EFS 17-85 lens.

Jess and Jeannette and I had met up for manicures and pedicures at Lily’s Nail. Then we just walked around and went in and out of some shops. I really liked this perfume at Fresh, Pink Jasmine. I didn’t buy it then because it was a liquid and I only had carry on bags, but I’ll be getting it soon.

We wandered through the Union Square Greenmarket. We then headed south and walked through Washington Square Park and then headed to The Village for lunch.

Alternative titles: “It’s Hard To Hold Your Beer And Cigarette While Pitching a Kickball” or “What Will The Hipsters Tell Us Is Cool Next?” Although I must admit, I played kickball at SXSW a couple years ago. I sucked. Major.

Tien and Shannan were playing in a Brooklyn league so we went along to watch them play. Yvan joined in, but Jeannette & Jess and I just watched the game and watched someone’s dog who was playing.
