"After Bob Guskind's death, I realized I had to launch my own Coney Island blog
this season. I had really started blogging on my flickr. Apparently that's the
way Guskind started too, I remember Jake Dobkin of Gothamist mentioning it at Bob's memorial. I can't tell you how many times I think, when
something crazy happens, like Thor Equities tents being the wrong
tents and having to come off, oh, Bob is laughing at this up
there in bloggers heaven. I will do a post dedicating my blog
to Bob in the near future.
