ReplyDeleteIt is a fabulous building, Jim!
ReplyDeleteLooks great.
ReplyDeleteGood sign from more simple times. Like your perspective.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff. The building is a bit longer on the right but I tried to get as much of the building in the shot as I could.
DeleteLooks wonderful, I Love all the colours
ReplyDeleteI can see that Coney Island Funny Land opened way back in 1935. But I don't know the name. Could Coney Island Funny Land have had a different name back then?
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm aware of Hels. In the link I provided, the heritage information says it was restored in 1995 to the original design.
DeleteI loved seeing the iconic entrance when we were there.
ReplyDeleteA fun one indeed - nice shot :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great restoration.

ReplyDeleteI bet Robert Brown never expected this would be a heritage site.
