Jonathan Clarke+FollowConey Island casino sparks heated debateConey Island’s proposed casino is already stirring up strong feelings in the neighborhood. Locals are worried about whether the promised jobs will actually go to residents—just 8.7% of new positions are projected for Coney Islanders, which feels low for a project of this size. There’s also a lot of skepticism about transportation fixes, like better subway service and new ferry routes, since nothing’s guaranteed yet. Parking headaches and flood risks are top concerns, too. With a $200 million community trust on the table, folks are asking: will it really make a difference? What do you think—could a casino help or hurt Coney Island? #News #ConeyIsland #CasinoDebate00Share
David Hoover+FollowConey Island casino plan could change everythingA $3.4 billion casino and entertainment complex could turn Coney Island into a year-round hotspot, not just a summer escape. The proposal promises 10,000 jobs, a massive hotel, and new venues, aiming to tackle local unemployment and boost Brooklyn’s economy. But some locals are skeptical—will these jobs really go to Coney Island residents, or just outsiders? The project faces tough odds, but if it moves forward, it could reshape daily life here. What do you think: is this the boost Coney Island needs, or are the risks too high? #News #ConeyIsland #Brooklyn00Share

Jason Wells+FollowWho Really Invented the Coney Island Dog?Mind blown: Nathan’s wasn’t the OG Coney Island hot dog! The real hot dog pioneer was Charles Feltman, a German baker who started slinging sausages from a pie cart in 1867. His biz blew up into a massive beachside empire way before Nathan’s Famous even existed. The twist? Nathan Handwerker, Feltman’s own bun slicer, broke off to start his own stand—and the rest is hot dog history. Next time you grab a frank at Coney Island, you’ll know the full (and juicy) backstory! #Food #NYCFoodHistory #ConeyIsland00Share
