The Municipal Art Society will be presenting exciting new ideas for the planned redevelopment of Coney Island at BAM this coming Monday, November 17, 2008 at 6:30 – 8:30pm.
My fantasy for the future of Coney Island is that they reconstruct the Elephant Hotel which burnt down in 1896. There have been other elephant buildings but none of them compare to this pleasantly debaucherous Victorian beast standing over the boardwalk:
