The Days and Nights of the Coney Island Carnies
Worked at Coney: 48 years
Operates: The Balloon Game
I’ve been working here since I was 16-17 years old. I wanted to have fun and meet girls and I was from the neighborhood.
I hear stupid things every day. People get frustrated almost every day. It’s too expensive for the average person now. Twenty dollar rides and three dollar sodas. It’s crazy. Average people can’t afford to come here anymore.
