## Designation

Save Coney Island is thrilled to <u>announce</u> that the New York State Historic Preservation Office has declared Coney Island's amusement district eligible for listing in the State and National Registers of Historic Places. While this does not protect the buildings within the district from demolition, inclusion on the Registers could offer financial incentives for redevelopment projects that rehabilitate and reuse historic properties in the amusement area.

## Thor Update: Demolition...

Unfortunately, Thor Equities has continued unrepentant down the path of <u>demolition.</u> Still, we hope that Thor will listen to our entreaties, and seize this opportunity to consider the ease with which Coney Island's historic buildings could be rehabilitated to become the centerpiece of an exciting heritage destination. But just in case he doesn't....

## Walking Tour on Sundays

Don't miss the chance to join us in our walking tour of historic Coney Island! We will celebrate the states decision by offering our free walking tours every Sunday through the end of September. The guided tour will cover all the historic buildings along Surf Avenue, as well as some of Coney's existing landmarks. We will have historic pictures so you can see what the buildings once were; and a few renderings illustrating how these buildings could be creatively restored and reused.

WHERE - In front of the Shore Theater, on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Ayes WHEN - Sunday, August 22th at 11:00 am (and every Sunday thereafter through the end of Sept.) FREE! (but suggested donation of $10 appreciated)

All corners get a free Save Coney Island button and a copy of our brand new <u>Save Coney Island map!</u> (a special thanks to everyone who donated and made the printing of this trial run possible!!)
