As the Boardwalk Is Remade, 9 Fixtures Are Told to Leave (NY Times)

From The New York Times:

By CHARLES V. BAGLI

Nine longtime Boardwalk tenants, including familiar places like Ruby’s, Shoot the Freak and the Beer Garden, have been told they have 15 days to leave (as of 11-1-10).

Ruby’s, for example, has been a fixture on the Boardwalk since 1934, and the pathway nearby is named after its founder, Ruby Jacob.

“We just heard this devastating news,” Ms. Allman said. “We are a throwback to the past. We make people feel good. To think we’re not going to be part of the new Coney Island is just very sad.”
