New York on the Clock: Coney Island Cyclone Operator from Thirteen.org on Vimeo.
Gerry Menditto speaks here about the job of maintaining the Cyclone which just happens to be my all-time favorite rollercoaster ever. This short video is part of Thirteen’s NY On The Clock video series that profiles important people in and around NYC.
Gerry Menditto has been the operator of the Cyclone since the 70’s and has helped keep the 82-year-old rollercoaster from fading away. He’s done a good job too because the Cyclone is still one of the most thrilling rides you can get in the NYC area.

I came across these two people hiding behind a wall while exploring Street View around 661 Kent Ave. I wonder if they were playing a game.
Beautiful & Detailed: Brooklyn Checks

Deamplified came across a stash of 19th-century checks from Brooklyn and was immediately amazed at the level of detail adorned on the face of each check. You really don’t see such intricate markings on checks anymore and these are wonderful examples of great artistry on an item that is looking more and more plain by the minute.
Head on over to Deamplified for detailed scans of each check.
