Brooklyn Based: The Destruction of Coney Island

From Brooklyn Based:

The Coney Island we know and love is gone. Even as building slows
across the city, demolition moves forward unchecked. The rocket has
been a Coney Island constant since Astroland opened in 1962 and last
week it was removed from its iconic perch.

Luckily for us, photographer Ellery Samuels organized
a Brooklyn Adventure for the Long Island Photographers Meetup and
snapped these shots. Here’s what it looks like to dismantle Brooklyn’s
storied past.
