A Coney Island park's final summer (AP)
From The Associated Press through The Boston Globe:

NEW YORK -- On a Coney Island afternoon, as the screams echo from deep inside the haunted house and laughter rings above the thump of the bumper cars, the good times would seem destined to roll on forever at the Astroland Amusement Park.
Carol Albert knows better.
Her husband's family opened the venerable beachfront attraction in 1962, delighting generations of visitors through the years with its simple surfside charm . But the end is three months away for Astroland, which will go dark shortly after Labor Day, all the neon and the rides and the booths rolling out on a tide that will never return.
