Coney Island Forever

Six years ago, Coney Island was under water. This image seeing the struggle and fear Coney Island was to face the morning after was heartbreaking. But in Retrospect, what we remember the most from that long road to recovery is the beautiful way the community came together to rebuild Coney Island. Whenever people ask about sandy, we always let them know it’s the customers who rebuilt the shops.  And even though it was a horrific, heartbreaking job, they helped us do it with laughter,smiles and positivity. Those are the memories that have endured the past six years!
