12th Street and Surf Avenue New York City (Brooklyn), NY July 12, 2010: Coney Island Arcade caught fire and is now closed off with boards. When I looked through some holes, I could see many of the machines were still in the building, but could not see the penny machine. Most of the ones left were smashed, stuffed animals laying out in front of them, some even with the fronts open and quarters still in them. very sad. I asked some vendors nearby, and they said the future of the place was undetermined at this time and anything inside that was salvagable was already taken out. |
