Today, go back to Coney Island's World in Wax Musee. Costa Mantis' full-color photos of this ghoulish treasure of lost Coney Island cannot be missed. You'll see Hickman the Fox dismembering little Marion Parker in a bathtub! Husband-killing seductress Ruth Snyder of Double Indemnity infamy! And Lina Madina, the baby who gave birth to a baby.
They're here, they're real, they're not alive!

You have neglected Felicia Rincon, Mayoress of San Juan, Puerto Rico;
the running mural above the tableaux—
of Dante's Inferno—Nat King Cole's backward hand; "Who Killed Cock Robin,"
and approximately 20 thousand other incredible details at one of the greatest NY places of all time.
It's stuff like this that made me love CI.
