Check it Out: This Sunday (8/10/2008)

Ok, we may be starting to sound like a broken record, but this is history in the making: This Sunday at 10AM sharp the Municipal Art Society of New York is leading a walking tour of Coney Island to witness a neighborhood "on the brink of transformation" (as the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported today). The tour will be led by Joe Svehlak (the man with the rowdy handle bars above). According to the MAS site Mr. Svehlak will be discussing a history of the neighborhood and will provide insight on the proposed development that has sparked controversy in Southern Brooklyn.

The tour will start at Stillwell Avenue and Surf Avenue, just outside the Stillwell stop on the subway (see hopstop map) and costs $15 (payable in cash at the start of the tour), or $12 for members. For those who are willing to venture out this way, you will likely be in company with the Little Rus' team as we will be in attendance. Email us in advance if you have any questions at: info@littlerus.com and bring your cameras because the view may not last.
