Coney Island in the seventies
The seventies saw a terrible decline in New York City. This was especially true of Coney Island in Brooklyn that had been all but abandoned and because of ill conceived Plans by the state's housing authority, it was almost razed in favor of more public housing that soon became new high rise slums. This was before gentrification that also had it's negative aspects. At any rate, Coney Island has made a great come back. Here we see that very famous parachute ride in total decay. Today it's restored as a monument not as a ride and is wonderfully lit up at night. Of course things were much different then. These are 35mm Ektachrome slides that I developed in Unicolor chemicals. The colors are not as good as Kodachrome II but nothing ever was. The classic bluish cast of Ektachrome is evident in the resulting scans.
