*Everyday Chatter

We knew this would happen: Ruby's Bar has been given two weeks notice to get off the Coney Island boardwalk--so some meaningless crap can move in. [Gothamist]

Pics from Halloween Parades of yore. [IL]

Super secret underground, abandoned subway art gallery. Where is it? [Gothamist]

Sin Sin lounge is dismantled. [EVG]

The bedbugs are coming! The bedbugs are coming! And other NYC scares. [MBN]

Remembering what phone calls used to be like--not so long ago in another century. [NYT]

  1. That really sucks about Ruby's. They're really going to ruin the boardwalk with shiny new places. I'm glad I went there a couple months ago. I'll probably never go to Coney Island again.

  2. Renderings look like Pt. Pleasant crossed with Seaside Heights. Fine in their place, but not at Coney.

  4. The more I continue to read about the demise of Coney, the more enraged I am becoming. Bye-bye, another piece of my childhood. And my parents' childhoods. And my grandparents'. And back until there was just an island called Coney, because it was overrun with rabbits, which I would much prefer to slick Eurotrash developers.
