On this day of significant Coney Island coverage, it’s worth recounting the following conversation we overhead while walking on Stillwell Avenue in the corridor that is Thor Equities’ demolition zone. The exchange took place between a little girl who was probably about eight or nine years old and her father:
Little Girl: Daddy, what happened to the Go-Karts we used to ride?
Father: I don’t know. They’re not here anymore. Everything’s gone.
