Coney Island Mystery Photo of the Day. April 12, 2013
It’s a bit of a slow news day in Coney after the past few days, when exciting headlines included “Coney Island’s Parachute Jump gets $2 million upgrade and 8,000 LED lights.” What captured our imagination is that the new lights will reportedly be visible from outer space! ATZ can’t wait till spaceships with tourists from Mars and Pluto start landing on the Boardwalk. In the meantime, today’s mystery photo is not a flying saucer. Can you guess what it is and where this photo was taken in Coney Island?

Amusing the Zillion 
West 12 st?
Can you be more specific about precisely where? And what is it anyway?!
A couple of store fronts from the history project… skim the wire?? dont know what it is, just remember seeing it
Yes, that’s where it is! On the front of Benny’s Skin the Wire game on 12th St. I’m not sure what is called myself, just that it is something eye-catching that spins. Just happened to take a photo the other day
