New Surveillance Cameras Going Up In Coney?

Found a Twitter from Amadad about new surveillance cameras going up in and around Coney Island. Interesting... Anyone else see anything? - http://twitter.com/amadad

Coney Sideshow getting some competition? Hardly.

Supposedly there's going to be some competition to the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, the country's only stationary operating 10-in-1, with Donny Vomit, Heather Holliday, Serpentina, Sealboy Mat Fraser. The Daily News and some others are reporting that John Strong III is bringing his freakshow to Coney - http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/brooklyn/2009/03/12/2009-03-12_is_the_coney_island_boardwalk_importing_.html

Although Thor Equities is saying they haven't chosen anyone to entertain on their land, they're really good at operating "amusements" that turn out to be inflatable bouncy castles and entertaining everyone with empty lots and schoolbus parking graveyards.

Was it incompetence? Were they trying to purposely fail so they could say amusements don't work, hoping no one would notice that they weren't using real amusements? Who can say.

Either way, in this fight the Coney Island Sideshow (and museum, and burlesque at the beach, etc) is like early career Mike Tyson, and the sad Freakshow that will possibly soon arrive is already crippled before getting in the ring.

Should be an entertaining bloodbath.
