      At first, I thought that Coney Island sinking into decrepitude was the saddest thing that could happen to it. Now, I think its modernization via appropriation by developers is almost worse. The dilapidation-->construction dichotomy is certainly interesting, if not depressing.

      Best of luck with your project!
