My Brooklyn Readers Report Amy My Brooklyn begins in Coney Island. The air is clearer, the streets wider, the city heat never seems as intense and you cannot go anywhere in Coney Island and escape the heavenly scent of the ocean water.
Coney Island is where the children actually get bored going to the amusement park.
It actually become a chore to take visiting relatives to Astroland and Nathan's. No matter . . . I attended Abraham Lincoln High School on Ocean Parkway and as far as I am concerned I lived my whole teen life on the property of that school and loved it. The teachers were wonderful, the school was wonderful and so was the football team. I was one of the Captains of the Cheerleaders during my time there.
