I think I got that expression from my mom. I've never been to Coney Island and at first thought it wasn't as crowded as I imagined when I saw your pictures until you showed the 1931 picture! That's probably what my mom remembered over the years. By the way, I wouldn't have opened my eyes either! I enjoyed the tour of Coney Island.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068151073417372746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-71890287256856905502010-08-15T13:16:48.806-04:002010-08-15T13:16:48.806-04:00Trying to quell my vertigo so I can comment here.

I made Coney dog sauce over the weekend...although, had I eaten it and then ridden the Wonder Wheel I suspect the people below me would not have enjoyed their ride quite as much.<br /><br />Thanks for a great link!<br /><br />A+Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462124067637610359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-39543985150513315642010-08-15T12:48:39.690-04:002010-08-15T12:48:39.690-04:00I won't ever go on a Ferris wheel with my husb...I won't ever go on a Ferris wheel with my husband ever ever again. he swings the cage on purpose. Our marriage cannot survive that. I would have opted for the stationary one. But oh my - the views. And the memories. I loved the long-ago photo of Coney Island.

I have, twice, done the hot air balloons at Napa and I even, once, went parasailing in Mexico. I drank quite a bit of tequila before doing that. I would have been screaming right along with you, had I been on the ferris wheel.

When I was unable to connect with you, YES, I went shopping! A friend told me about a "warehouse" type store on E 55th and I shopped. Thankfully this place offered shipping. I'm planning to go back to this place again in a matter of months with an empty suitcase!<br /><br />Hope you are doing well and hope you have a good time on your vacation!!!Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843762553010099404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-7848183151127272322010-08-13T02:13:51.063-04:002010-08-13T02:13:51.063-04:00Thanks for that ride through history!
