The Brooklyn Eagle reports that you’ll be able to strap on your roller skates this summer at Lola Staar’s roller rink in Coney Island. A roller rink near the board walk. That’s sounds like a whole lot of fun. I think it’s going to be very popular.

"Lola Staar entrepreneur Dianna Carlin’s dream of installing a seaside
temporary roller rink didn’t make such ambitious claims, but does
promise to add some pizzazz to a place that’s changed little over the
years besides the occasional clearing of another lot."

This Saturday March 8 (not sure about the time), a “Save Coney Island” event is planned at  Southpaw in
Park Slope, 125 Fifth Ave. between Sterling and St. Johns. This should be quite the shindig:

Burlesque
dancers and hot rodders will be on hand, helping to promote awareness
of the city’s (controversial) plan to convert a portion of Coney Island
into a park, leased to a single amusement operator. Borough President
Marty Markowitz and Coney Island Development Corporation President Lynn
Kelly are expected on the red carpet. Dance party DJs, burlesque
performances and “never-before seen slide shows” await inside.
