Ballad of a Brooklyn Beach Front
Real estate developers plan to give it a polished look, but Coney Island’s seedy charm lives on in music. On the eve of the annual Mermaid Parade, we look at Coney Island's musical legacy with Charles Denson, Head of Coney Island History Project and author of “Coney Island: Lost and Found, and Brooklyn-based performer Vic Thrill.
The 25th anniversary of the Mermaid Parade is Saturday, June 23rd. Visit ConeyIsland.com for more details.

Mermaid Parade is SUNDAY, not tomorrow!!!!!
Actually, the Mermaid Parade IS on Saturday the 23rd. Check coneyisland.com.
SOUNDCHECK WRITES: The parade is scheduled for Saturday, 6/22 at 2pm. The Coney Island Web site mistakenly refers to Saturday as 6/23 when it should be 6/22.
