Okay. We just paid a fortune to see Ringling Brothers at Madison Square Garden and now Vin Cipolla, President of the Municipal Art Society, writes to tell me that the Ringling Brothers Circus is coming to Coney Island this summer. They don't mention any dates or a location. But I'm all ears and will continue to research it.
"MAS congratulates the City of New York on its success in bringing Ringling Brothers to Coney Island this summer. The City has taken a vital step toward making Coney Island the world's greatest seaside stage once again. To secure Coney Island’s revitalization we need this kind of exciting, interim programming while we also plan for its long-term future.”
The Municipal Art Society of New York, founded in 1893, is a non-profit membership organization that fights for intelligent urban planning, design and preservation through education, dialogue and advocacy. For more information, please visit HYPERLINK "http://www.mas.org" www.mas.org.
