Last Day for Astroland
September 7, 2008 | New york city, New York | Vetting explained
In its wake Hanna left us with a beautiful Sunday. No clouds
and no humidity; it was a nice day to say good bye. Astroland was closing for
good. There was suppose to be a support rally to keep it open at noon, but I did not see anyone. The place was relatively
crowed. There was a long line for the Wonder Wheel and the Cyclone’s roller coaster
was full. It seemed like everyone there had a camera. Everyone wanted to
remember.
