I have always loved Coney Island. From the early days when I first came to this country to the later years when I was in High School and used to cut class to hit the beach during the summer months.
The most I love out Coney Island is that for the first time in my life I found a place where I could be myself. I used to take the F train out of Park Slope and ride with anticipation all the way to the ocean.
It was during those times that I discovered wine coolers and cigarettes; and of course there were the girls.
I also enjoyed the games. To be honest I always knew I could have bought a better or bigger stuffed animal somewhere else, but that wasn't the point; I wanted to win t in front of everyone. I liked the horse races the most.
More than anything else I enjoyed Coney Island because the time I spent with my friends. I haven't seen most of them since then but the memories always remain.
